Idaho GOP chair arrested for stalking estranged wife

Boise, Idaho • Authorities say the former Idaho Republican Party chairman was arrested Thursday for stalking his estranged wife, though Jonathan Parker’s lawyer claims it was a “grand misunderstanding.”

Boise police say Parker appeared at or near his wife's apartment complex in May and was seen repeatedly hiding in the bushes, masturbating and wearing a wig.

The prosecutor during his Friday arraignment noted that his wife has previously reported Parker for staring into her windows.

His wife filed for divorce in March and has since been granted a restraining order against him.
