In August 2023, Captain Richard Fuentes was placed on paid administrative leave following an alleged indecent exposure incident in Coeur d’Alene. He and his wife were among four individuals arrested on misdemeanor charges after reportedly swimming naked in a hotel pool on August 18, 2023. This incident was not his first controversy; in 2012, Fuentes faced potential decertification due to alleged off-duty misconduct during a 2010 Halloween party involving other department employees and civilians. Despite recommendations for decertification, he retained his certification after the Idaho POST Council disagreed with the hearing officer’s recommendation.
