 The Kootenai County Sheriff, Robert Norris, has been involved in a controversial incident related to the search for what he deemed to be "obscene" books at a local library in Idaho. The sheriff, accompanied by Marianna Cochran, the founder of CleanBooks4Kids, a local citizens group advocating for the removal of what they consider inappropriate materials from libraries, was seen searching for a young adult novel titled "Identical" by Ellen Hopkins, which he deemed obscene.
