Post Falls Man Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison for Murder for Hire and Drug Charges

COEUR D'ALENE – Darin Kyle Taylor, 56, of Post Falls, Idaho, was sentenced today for use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder for hire, and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.

Senior U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge sentenced Taylor to 120 months in prison, to be followed by three years supervised release for the use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder hire and 121 months in prison, to be followed by five years supervised release for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Taylor pleaded guilty on December 15, 2015.

According to the plea agreements, on June 17 and June 30, 2015, the Idaho State Police worked with a confidential informant to purchase methamphetamine from Taylor at his Post Falls residence. On July 1, 2015, Idaho State Police detectives served a search warrant at Taylor’s residence and seized methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, cash, and firearms.

On August 19, 2015, the day after Taylor was indicted by a federal grand jury on drug charges, Taylor met with a confidential informant working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Taylor solicited this ATF confidential informant to murder another person promising to pay cash. Taylor was arrested on his federal drug charge shortly after his conversation and has been in federal custody since.

The cases were investigated by the Idaho State Police, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

_______________________________________

On Tuesday, July 05, 2016, at 6:01 a.m. the Idaho State Police investigated a single vehicle crash on northbound on U.S. Highway 95 at milepost 170, near New Meadows.

Ryan Granlund, 32 of Ephrata, Washington, fell asleep while driving north bound on U.S. Highway 95 in a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup. He drifted across the southbound lanes into a borrow pit, paralleled the highway for 100 yards and collided with a power pole. The power pole snapped and fell blocking both the north and southbound lanes of the highway with live wires.

Both Granlund, and his passenger, Lasean Burdue-Troxclair, 25 of Ephrata, Washington were able to get themselves out of the vehicle and to safety. Neither were wearing seatbelts and were transported to St. Luke's McCall Medical Center by ground ambulance.

Both the northbound and southbound lanes were blocked for 3 hours. Idaho Power is still on scene and the highway is down to one lane while crews work on repairing the down power line. The Idaho Transportation Department is supplying traffic control for the area. It is unknown at this time how long until all lanes are completely opened.

This crash is under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
