Idaho Democratic candidate for Congress
arrested for allegedly waving handgun and threatening employees of a store. Is it possible she is suffering from some form of
mental illness? After all, she is a Democrat.
Boise Police arrested Cynthia Clinkingbeard, 58, Boise, on Friday after she reportedly walked into a store at Eagle Road and Chinden Boulevard and threatened employees with a gun.
The website of the Idaho Secretary of State lists Clinkingbeard as a Democratic candidate in the May 15 primary race for the First District congressional seat.
Clinkingbeard was a doctor specializing in edocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, until the State of Idaho Board of Medicine revoked her license in 2005.
On Friday, police were called at 9:15 p.m. by employees of the store who told dispatchers a woman, later identified as Clinkingbeard, had walked into the store, made strange, threatening remarks to three employees before pulling out a handgun. The caller told dispatchers Clinkingbeard then left the store, continuing to make threats, and drove off in a car.
They described the car to dispatchers. An Ada County Sheriff deputy quickly spotted it driving south on Eagle Road. The deputy, joined by Boise and Meridian police, made a felony traffic stop. Because Clinkingbeard was reportedly armed, they closed Eagle Road in both directions for a brief time.

Yep, having your medical license revoked by the board makes you SUCH a stellar candidate!
