News release - Critical Incident Task Force releases additional details about the officer-involved shooting in Meridian on Nov. 19

News release - For Immediate Release, Nov. 21, 2018

Contact: Tim Marsano, ISP PIO, 208.884.7122

Critical Incident Task Force releases additional details about the officer-involved shooting in Meridian on Nov. 19

At around 3:30 p.m. on Monday November 19, an experienced Idaho State Police motorcycle Trooper initiated a traffic stop on another motorcycle, driven by Christopher Williams, for traffic violations at the intersection of Waltman Lane and Meridian Road. As the ISP Trooper approached the motorcycle on foot, Williams accelerated and sped away down Waltman, which does not have a secondary exit. The ISP Trooper got back on his motorcycle and located the suspect at the end of the street. As the ISP Trooper again attempted to make contact with Williams, a physical altercation occurred between them surrounding a struggle over the Trooper's firearm. After approximately two minutes of fighting for the weapon, preliminary evidence indicates the ISP Trooper fired several shots which struck the suspect in the torso. The ISP Trooper began life-saving measures immediately, which paramedics took over when they arrived on scene. The suspect was later pronounced deceased.

The ISP Trooper involved was wearing an on-body video camera and video is being reviewed as part of the investigation. The Ada County Coroner's Office has identified the deceased male and family has been notified. The Critical Incident Task Force investigation remains ongoing at this time.

Note to reporters: PIO responsibility for this incident has reverted back to ISP - contact info as noted above.

On November 14, 2018 Idaho State Police detectives were notified by the Jefferson County, Montana Sheriff's Office of an officer-involved shooting that occurred the previous day in Jefferson County, MT.

ISP detectives received information that Kolby David Schmidt and two other unidentified males were involved in the shooting and that they may be in the Blackfoot, Idaho area driving a blue Chrysler 300. Further investigation led detectives to believe they had switched cars and were driving a grey Nissan Rogue with California license plates. The Nissan was located at the Fort Hall Casino in Bingham County, Idaho.

Yesterday, Nov. 14, ISP Detectives located, detained, and subsequently arrested Kolby David Schmidt, Michael James Holloway, and Shannon Jesse Marengo at the Fort Hall Casino.

- Kolby David Schmidt (of Montana) was charged with 2nd level Trafficking Heroin, Unlawful Possession of a firearm, and a felony warrant.
- Michael James Holloway (of Montana) was charged with Grand Theft/stolen firearm, possession of methamphetamine.
- Shannon Jesse Marengo (of Montana) was charged with Trafficking Heroin, and a Felony warrant.
-- Four firearms, $13,039 cash, heroin, meth, cocaine and paraphernalia were seized.
-- The three men were arrested and booked into the Bingham County Jail.
-- Additional charges are pending in Montana.

Angie Marie Ahern-Krogstead (of California) was implicated in illegal activities associated with these Montana crimes and ISP arrested her today, Nov. 15 after a search warrant was obtained for a vehicle associated with her; meth and cocaine were found in her purse. She's charged with possession of meth and possession of cocaine and she was booked into the Bannock County Jail.
