Bear Lake County Sheriff Brent Bunn opposed former Owyhee County Sheriff Tim Nettleton when he stood up to Federal BLM agents who were abusing their authority. You can see the reference at The Spokesman Review. While this incident happened in 1995, we don't have more current information to indicate that Sheriff Bunn has changed his stance. For this reason we've rated him as needing replaced.
We currently have not identified anyone to run against Sheriff Bunn in a future election. If you know of someone who would make a good candidate then please feel free to leave us a tip on our tipline page.
