Members of a southeastern Idaho youth church group were being driven around by their chaperone last month, delivering Thanksgiving cards in the neighborhood to those they were thankful for when they decided last minute to stop at the home of the county sheriff's house, according to a probable cause affidavit later filed in court.
What happened next outside the home of Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland has put the small Idaho community in the national spotlight. The sheriff is facing calls for his resignation after charges that he allegedly pointed a gun at his long-time neighbor and two teenage girls, and later during an interview with investigators allegedly made disparaging remarks about Native Americans.
The incident took place on the night of November 9 in the town of Blackfoot, Idaho. The seven girls had hand-traced and cut paper turkeys with messages listing "why they were thankful for certain people," according to the affidavit. The plan was to tape the turkey on the front door of the recipient's house, ring the doorbell and run away before they were seen, according to the affidavit.
