RE: Altercation in Troy

On 06/18/2005, at about 2:00 in the morning, Latah County deputies responded
to a medical call in Troy, Idaho.  At the time, little other was known other
than Craige W. Heilman, a 26 year-old Troy man, was unconscious and bleeding
from the mouth.  During the course of the investigation, it was determined
that Heilman had been punched during an altercation in downtown Troy earlier
in the evening.  After doctors at Gritman Medical Center determined Heilman
had sustained traumatic head injury, he was transported to St. Joseph's
Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, Idaho.  At the time of this release,
Heilman's condition is listed as unstable.  He is using the aid of a
ventilator, and he is heavily sedated.  No arrest(s) have been made in the
case as of yet, but the Sheriff's Office does have a person of interest.
Although some witnesses have come forward, we are asking anyone with any
information to contact the Latah County Sheriff's Office as soon as possible
at (208) 882-2216.  Thank you.

RE: Dallas Strunk (Arson)

On 6/19/2005 at approximately 10:52 am, Latah County Deputies arrested
Dallas Strunk pursuant to an arrest warrant for felony arson charges.
Strunk had allegedly set fire to at least three structures within the prior
week.  On the evening of the 18th, a concerned citizen reported having seen
Strunk at a Vassar Meadows campsite.  Vassar Meadows is located off of
Highway 8, between Deary and Bovill.  Deputies responded to the area that
evening but were unable to locate Strunk.  On the 19th, deputies searched
the area again and were able to locate Strunk.  Strunk was located at a
campsite off of the road and was taken into custody without incident.
