Police: N. Idaho man fired gun near census worker

ST. MARIES, Idaho (AP) - A northern Idaho man who police say fired his
shotgun near a U.S. census worker who was trying to deliver a census
form has been cited for exhibition of a deadly weapon, a misdemeanor.

Fifty-four-year-old Richard L. Powell of St. Maries faces up to six
months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The Benewah County Prosecutor's office says that on March 3 Powell told
the census worker to get off his property and then fired a shotgun into
the air.

Powell's pretrial conference is scheduled for April 26 at the Benewah
County Courthouse.
