Prosecutor, Mayor, and Nearby Native American TribeAn Idaho sheriff is being charged for pulling out a gun on seven young girls between the ages of 12 to 16 in November. He is charged with assaulting their church group leader and publicly threatening to shoot her in the head in front of the girls in an encounter on a residential street in Blackfoot, Idaho.
KTVB reports that on Dec. 14 the states Attorney Generals Office charged Sheriff Craig Rowland with aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and exhibition or use of a deadly weapon.
In the state of Idaho, aggravated battery and aggravated assault are felonies, and the exhibition or use of a deadly weapon is a misdemeanor.
A probable cause affidavit revealed that the girls were participating in a service activity and were giving out paper thankful turkeys notes to the community in the southeastern Idaho town. The girls would tape the notes to the door of a neighbor, ring the doorbell, and run away before the person could see who left the thoughtful note.
