Gabriel Rench, a Latah County commission candidate, was one of three people arrested Wednesday at a "psalm sing" attended by some 150 people in the Moscow City Hall parking lot. The charge: violating a&nbsp;&nbsp;order, "I did not think I was going to be arrested. I did not think I was going to be cited," Rench said, adding that his church had been organizing the "psalm sings" throughout the shutdown."We just started singing the songs and&nbsp;they come up to me and my mom&nbsp;first, and then the guy standing&nbsp;next to me was my friend and I&nbsp;put my arm around him and said,&nbsp;this is my friend, and that's&nbsp;why they proceeded to arrest me," he explained. RELATED:&nbsp;Host Laura Ingraham asked if&nbsp;it was Moscow, Russia or Moscow, Idaho as "protesters are given free rein over city and suburban streets. I don't even recognize this country," she said.

Video of the incident in Ohio shows the woman resisting as the officer struggles to handcuff her for nearly two minutes before he deploys his Taser.

According to the resolution,&nbsp;anyone who violates the order is subject to a misdemeanor charge, which carries a maximum punishment of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, the&nbsp;&nbsp;reports.RELATED:&nbsp;Rench also claimed the mayor attended a religious ceremony on Sept.&nbsp;5 and did not wear a mask or practice social distance, and also attended a private party of about 50 people three days before with no masks or social distancing."Tyranny is stupid and tyranny&nbsp;requires force, so what happens&nbsp;is, once you kind of put your&nbsp;foot in it,&nbsp;your pride and&nbsp;arrogance is starting to drive&nbsp;the rest of the edict," he said. "So now when we test that&nbsp;tyranny, when we come up and test&nbsp;that&nbsp;tyranny, it pushes them to&nbsp;actually bring force to the issue&nbsp;and that's why they arrested&nbsp;me.&nbsp;The cops did not want to arrest&nbsp;me."
