June 26, 2019

Just before 7:00 a.m. on 6/26/19 Boise Police were called to a home on Whisper Cove Ave.  A 20-year-old male had knocked on a victim’s door and asked for help.  The victims, a man and a woman, let the man inside, but when the victims noticed the man was under the influence of an unknown substance the victims asked the man to leave.  The man left but then kicked the door several times and struck one of the victims with the door when he opened it.  The man then ran away.  Officers arrived minutes later and found the suspect walking on W. Inglin Ct. and ordered the suspect to the ground. The suspect was yelling random things and acting erratically.  As officers attempted to handcuff the suspect he took off running.  Officers were able to stop the suspect and safely take him into custody.  Officers received information that the suspect was under the influence of an unknown substance and he was taken to the hospital for treatment.  Charges have been routed to the prosecutor for review.
