Early Sunday, August 2, at approximately 1:06 a.m. near W. Franklin Road and S. Curtis Road in Boise, an Idaho State Police Trooper witnessed a driver make a wide turn and swerve inside the traffic lane. As the Trooper attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, the driver turned into an apartment complex and accelerated. The driver, later identified as Joshua L. Riebau, 38 of Boise, then led officers on a pursuit that continued down westbound Franklin Road. A Boise Police officer arrived to assist and as he went to deploy spike strips to stop the suspect vehicle near Franklin and S. Five Mile Road, the suspect is accused of driving toward the officer, causing the officer to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. The spike strips fell into the path of the suspect vehicle causing it to slow, allowing the driver and a passenger to jump from the car and run.

The passenger, later identified as Joseph M.A. Delguidice, 24 of Boise, was immediately apprehended.

A Boise Police K9 located the driver, Riebau a short time later in a nearby utility parking lot where he appeared passed out in a pickup truck. A firearm believed to have been lost or thrown by the driver was also found lying on grass close to tire tracks made by the suspect's vehicle.
