Suspect in deputy shooting moved to jail
January 24, 2017
Adam Deacon Foster, 30, was released earlier today from Kootenai Health after being wounded January 16 in a shootout with three Bonner County Sheriff's deputies who were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on him at his home in Blanchard.

Foster was transported to the Kootenai County Public Safety Building where he is being held on a warrant of detention; he is scheduled for a first appearance in court at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Interviews of the involved officers, deputies Michael Gagnon and Justin Penn, who were both hit three times and released earlier from Kootenai Health, and William Craffey, who was not injured, started today.

Due to the investigation still being underway, no new charges have been filed against Foster at this time.

All three deputies involved are on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation. Information will be released as quickly as the investigative
process allows.
