An Idaho woman was arrested after prosecutors said she stole an ambulance and crashed it into a building that houses U.S. Department of Homeland Security offices, later pouring gasoline inside the property.

Sarah Elizabeth George, 43, is accused of stealing a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance from St. Luke’s Hospital Emergency Center in Meridian, a suburb of Boise, Idaho, on Wednesday, Feb. 18, according to police. George then allegedly drove into a nearby office building and poured gasoline in and around the vehicle before fleeing on foot.

Investigators believe that George intentionally crashed into the building and attempted to “ignite the ambulance and potentially the building,” the Meridian Police Department said in a statement on Feb. 24. No injuries were reported in the incident.

During a news conference, Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said George was arrested on Monday, Feb. 23, after a five-day investigation. The Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted in the investigation.

“It was good old-fashioned police work that got us to where we are at tonight,” Basterrechea said on Feb. 23. “These investigators literally went door-to-door, looking for possible camera footage, possible witnesses and other information and evidence.”

George has been charged with attempted destruction of federal property by fire and malicious destruction of property used or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, according to police. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

Police noted that the investigation remains ongoing and additional charges may be filed in the case.

ISLAND PARK — One person was killed Sunday when a group of four people was caught up in an avalanche near Island Park, according to local law enforcement.

Fremont County Sheriff Bart Quayle, whose search crews assisted Clark County in the rescue efforts, confirmed the fatality to EastIdahoNews.com.

“If there is a silver lining in such a tragedy, it’s that three others survived,” the sheriff said. “Regardless, our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased.”

Further details on why the group was in the mountains and what may have caused the avalanche were not immediately available. The name of the person who died was not released on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Quayle said his crews were also busy with their own mountain rescue operations in Fremont County. Around the same time frame as the avalanche, he said emergency dispatchers received two calls for rescue — one in the Two Top area in Island Park, and the other near the Hotel Creek area.

The sheriff did not give details on those rescue operations Sunday but said, “I can report that all (snowmobile) riders made it home safely with the help of coordinated partnerships, amazing Fremont search and rescue volunteers, and dedicated emergency responders working tirelessly.”

Crews from Madison County and Gallatin County (Montana) aided in the rescue efforts, he said.

Quayle said Sunday’s incidents should serve as a reminder for all Idahoans to do what they can to stay safe outdoors. He said he “strongly encourages winter enthusiasts to practice extreme caution within the current high country conditions.”

The sheriff said more details about the incidents would likely be released on Monday.
