BOISE â One person was arrested Tuesday tied to the protests against Central District Healthâs proposed public health order, and police have warrants to arrest three others who protested outside of health board member Diana Lachiondoâs house.
âI chose to put myself out there, but my kids donât deserve this,â Lachiondo said in a phone interview Wednesday.
Lachiondo was not home when protesters gathered there. She rushed home after getting a distressed call from her son.
âAs a mom, when your kid is calling you and theyâre scared ⦠I just felt really helpless,â she said. âTheyâre fine, everybodyâs fine, but when thereâs a guy with a gun yelling outside your house, itâs hard to feel safe.â
Boise, Idaho health district meeting canceled by police after armed protesters threaten board members’ homes
At the insistence of the Boise, Idaho police chief and mayor, the Central District Health (CDH) board shut down its meeting Tuesday night before it could vote on a new public health order imposing limited COVID-19 restrictions. Roughly 600 anti-mask protesters had gathered outside the barricaded office building to oppose any measures to curtail the spread of the coronavirus, while separate groups of protesters, some carrying weapons, threatened the homes of board members.
While it did not appear that anyone inside the building where the members were meeting was in physical danger dozens of police had surrounded the building police insisted that the meeting be called off in the interests of “public safety.” After it was announced that the meeting would be canceled, the crowd packing the parking lot erupted in cheers.
