Fight breaks out at Driggs “Women’s March”

The Teton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fight at the Women’s March taking place in Driggs Saturday afternoon.

A department spokesperson said the fight occurred around 1:30 between those taking part in the march and passengers in a car.

According to a press release, a male protestor was standing in the roadway to impede traffic and yelling at vehicles driving on Main Street.

“The protestor stood in the street, blocking a brown and white pickup truck. The driver of the pickup truck exited the vehicle and a verbal altercation occurred between the driver and several members of the protest group. A physical altercation then occurred between the driver of the pickup and several victims,” the press release read. “The suspect then returned to the pickup truck and left the scene.”

In a video posted on Facebook, you can see the crowd gather around the driver of the pickup truck. The crowd is heard yelling. At one point in the video, a man walks up to the truck driver. It is unclear what happens, but a few moments later, you see the driver of the truck push a protester. After more yelling between protesters and the driver, you see the driver appear to swing at someone in the crowd before walking back to his truck and leaving.

The driver of the truck had left the scene before officers arrived.

KIFI/KIDK is not publishing the video at this time as permission has not been granted from the video’s owner.

The Teton County Sheriff’s Office has not said if anyone was hurt.

The case is under investigation.
