Man arrested at Idaho Falls Airport after allegedly interfering with airplane, assaulting police – East Idaho News
IDAHO FALLS – A Colorado man faces multiple charges after police say he interfered with the emergency exit door of an airplane and tried to assault numerous officers.
Anthony Joseph Alarcon, 35, of Pueblo, Colorado, is charged with felony stealing from/interfering with/destruction of an aircraft, misdemeanor assault, and misdemeanor resisting or obstructing officers.
On Sept. 28, an Idaho Falls Police officer was contacted by airline crews at Idaho Falls Regional Airport about the “theft of a carabiner clip from the emergency exit door of an aircraft that flew from Denver to Idaho Falls,” according to court documents.
Flight crew members and a passenger on the plane pointed out the suspect, later identified as Alarcon, to the officer.
The officer asked Alarcon if he had the carabiner clip, which he initially denied. Eventually, he gave it to the officer.
Police reports say the flight was delayed for nearly two hours due to the carabiner being stolen.
Alarcon was being picked up from the airport by his supervisor, so the officer met with both men and asked them to wait while another officer was on his way to bring the necessary paperwork to document the incident.
While waiting in the lobby, Alarcon reportedly became “aggressive and irritated,” asking, “What was taking so long?”
The officer responded that he was waiting for another officer to bring him the needed paperwork. Alarcon reportedly “got upset and aggressively stepped toward (the officer) with his fists clenched.”
The officer writes in the report that Alarcon’s “eyes were tense and squinted.”
Court documents say the officer was forced to move out of the way to avoid Alarcon touching him and tried to detain him.
Alarcon refused to comply, so the officer deployed pepper spray and got him in handcuffs. The officer then took Alarcon outside to flush his eyes with water.
While continuing to wait for more officers, Alarcon reportedly became aggressive again, trying to pull away from the officer while allegedly yelling, “Are you that scared of me?”
The officer tried to push Alarcon against a wall but was unable to until two other officers arrived.
Alarcon “struck his nose on the wall” and was forced to the ground and detained.
Police reports say officers flushed Alarcon’s eyes and wiped his face several times while waiting for EMS to arrive. When they arrived, Alarcon was allegedly also aggressive and uncooperative with the medical team.
Alarcon was taken to an emergency room for a jail clearance and then booked into the Bonneville County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
He is expected to appear for a District Court arraignment on Oct. 21. If convicted, he could face up to 24 years in prison and $12,000 in fines.
Though Alarcon has been charged with these crimes, it does not necessarily mean he committed them. Everyone is presumed innocent until they are proven guilty.

BOISE, Idaho — A Boise neighbor said she trapped the largest rat she has ever seen in her backyard, and a local pest control expert said he has already responded to multiple Treasure Valley homes this year to remove the rodents. As sightings increase, Idaho lawmakers are also taking action.
Britni Killeen, who grew up on a farm in East Idaho, said nothing could have prepared her for what she found in her West Boise backyard.

“I’m a 5th-generation Idahoan, and I’ve never seen something that big,” Killeen said.
Killeen believes the rats may be swimming through the Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve and making their way into nearby neighborhoods.
“We live next door to the refuge, and if you have a gap between your fence, which we do, it’s about 3 ft, they come into your yard, and they can go under fences,” explained Killeen.
Alpha Home Pest Control has served the Treasure Valley for over 10 years. Owner Mike Hill said he has been receiving weekly calls about rat sightings. While some turn out to be false alarms, he has already visited seven Treasure Valley homes this year to remove rats. Hill said many of them may be arriving from out of state and staying because of the mild weather conditions.
“Washington, California, the shipping, the freight coming back and forth, they’re kind of stowaways,” Hill said. “Then with the mild winters that we’ve been having, [it] hasn’t really been killing them off.”

Hill said Norway and Roof rats can pose serious risks to both health and property.
“They carry disease, they carry fleas, ticks, they can chew through your wiring in your home,” Hill said. “Their teeth grow very rapidly, so there have been cases where they’re up there chewing on wires, [and] the house burns down.”
If you spot a rat, Hill recommends calling a professional to ensure there are not more hiding nearby. He also offered several prevention tips.
“The droppings of the fruit, excess fruit, keep that stuff picked up. Make sure that your trash is enclosed in either a hard plastic or metal container,” Hill said.

As rat sightings increase across the Treasure Valley, lawmakers are taking notice. On Thursday, the Idaho Senate passed the Rodents of Unusual Size Act, which would declare Norway and roof rats a public health and safety nuisance and requires the state to take action to control and remove them. That bill now heads to the House.
Killeen said the legislation is a step in the right direction.
“Considering how big that rat is, I would definitely say so,” Killeen said. “I didn’t even know that big of rats could exist in Idaho, but maybe I’m just rural.”
