'This Is What A Real Man Looks Like': City Council Member Accused Of Exposing Self After Bar Confron

[JonLP24]

SPIRIT LAKE, Idaho -

Spirit Lake City Council Member James "Jimmy" Brown is facing two misdemeanor charges of Indecent Exposure and Battery.

The Kootenai County Sheriff's office is investigating the alleged incident between Brown and Eric Vangemert, a Spirit Lake resident. Court documents accuse Brown of having a physical confrontation with Vangemert and exposing himself to Vangemert's wife and saying, "This is what a real man looks like".

In court documents Brown denies ever getting physical with Vangemert. Brown also told investigators, "That guy had one sole purpose in mind and that was to get me in trouble".

KHQ spoke to Vangemert over the phone on Monday and he admits to calling Brown a vulgar name but believes this was an "unprovoked" fight. Vangemert also told KHQ that the fight, he believes, stems from an incident between he and one of Brown's friends several years ago. According to court documents Brown asked Spirit Lake Police Chief Gene Marquez if he was "exempt from the law because I'm a city council member." A statement which Brown denies he exactly said.

2. Northern Idaho?

Not surprised. They've got a bunch of "special" folks up there... not all but more than any community's fair share.

3. Ironically, Idaho is an open-carry state

So he'd have been fine if he'd dangled his pistol out in the open instead.

Lesson for next time.

4. You think maybe he exposed his junk...

because his gun was so small?

5. Maybe it was cold that night.
