BONNERS FERRY — A local woman is charged with trespassing and resisting arrest stemming from a May 31 incident. 

Jamisha Rae Nevarez, known locally as Misha Naumann-Davis, has been charged with misdemeanor charges of trespassing at and resisting arrest May 31, when she was removed from the Seniors Hospitality Center in Bonners Ferry. 

In a probable cause affidavit, Bonners Ferry Police Chief Willie Cowell wrote that he and BFPD Assistant Chief Jeremy Garrett stopped by the center to facilitate a civil standby. The standby was requested after the board voted to fire Nevarez, Cowell wrote. 

On April 12, 2024, Nevarez [Naumann-Davis] was stopped for a possible vehicle infraction by BFPD Officer Scott McBride. Bodycam footage of the interaction has since been circulated in the community, where Nevarez [Naumann-Davis] refused to provide identification, accused BFPD of “stalking her” and claimed to be a member of witness protection and therefore not necessary to provide ID. 

At 2:30 p.m. when Nevarez [Naumann-Davis] returned to the senior center, she was informed by the board that her employment was terminated. 

In the affidavit, Cowell wrote that Nevarez [Naumann-Davis] brushed against him and continually invaded his personal space as she was packing up her office. She continually claimed he was part of the local “corruption.” 

After yelling expletives at those present, Nevarez [Naumann-Davis] was trespassed by the Senior Center officials and Veterans of Foreign Wars officials. The two entities share the building and parking lots. 

After approximately six minutes of asking Nevarez [Naumann-Davis] to vacate the premises, she refused and was placed under arrest for trespassing. When being placed in handcuffs, officers claim she resisted for approximately 45 seconds. 

Nevarez (Naumann-Davis) was held on $800 bond, which was made on June 1. An arraignment is scheduled for June 17.
