Two wanted men arrested by local law enforcement
after vehicle pursuit |
|
February 17, 2016 |
Boundary County Sheriff's officers arrested two
men yesterday on Brown Creek Road following a 2
½ mile vehicle pursuit.
William Woods, age 25, described by a Sheriff's
Office news release as "semi-transient," who has
been living in and around Boundary County, was
arrested for violating the conditions of his
parole. He was wanted by the Idaho Department of
Corrections.
Also arrested was Dustin Koehler, age 23, of
Bonners Ferry. Mr. Koehler was wanted for an
outstanding felony arrest warrant, and was also
charged with attempting to elude police officers
in yesterday's chase.
Law enforcement officers had been actively
attempting to locate Mr. Woods because of his
outstanding warrant. He presented significant
concerns to law enforcement for both public and
officer safety, due to information that he had
allegedly
threatened to shoot law enforcement officers and
had reportedly used firearms to threaten others.
In yesterday's pursuit, Mr. Koehler was driving,
with Mr. Woods as passenger. After officers
brought their fleeing vehicle to a stop on Brown
Creek Road, Mr. Woods attempted to escape from
the vehicle into a wooded area. He was captured
and arrested by officers.
Mr. Koehler also fled the stopped vehicle. He
was located a short time later hiding on a
brushy hillside.
William Woods has a record of previous arrests
for offenses of possession of a controlled
substance and for possession/delivery of a
controlled substance with intent to manufacture.
Members of the United States Border Patrol,
Bonners Ferry Police Department, and the
Boundary County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the
investigation. |
