Suit Claims Police Destroyed Mystical Qualities of Medicine Bag

A Portland, Oregon man, Craig Clark Show, filed suit on January 17 against the Idaho State Police and the Bonner County, Idaho, Sheriff's Office, alleging that the police destroyed the mystical qualities of his medicine bag when they opened it after Show was stopped for speeding on his motorcycle. According to Friday's Bonner County Daily Bee, Show says the medicine bag imparts protection after it was blessed by a medicine woman and sealed in 1995. Apparently police were searching for drugs.
