Early morning high-speed chase in Idaho Falls ends in arrest – East Idaho News
IDAHO FALLS – Bonneville County Sherif’s deputies arrested an intoxicated man early Wednesday morning after a brief pursuit that ended when deputies disabled his vehicle.
Around 3 a.m., a deputy saw a man, later identified as 30-year-old Miguel Trejo Duran, driving over the speed limit and failing to maintain his lane on Northgate Mile in Idaho Falls. He tried pulling him over, and Duran swerved to avoid rear-ending another vehicle at the Lincoln Road intersection before continuing at a high rate of speed on North Yellowstone.
During this time, Duran was weaving in his lane, and at one point, driving off the road. He still would not pull over for the deputy.
As they approached North Yellowstone and 49th North, the deputy utilized the Pursuit Immobilization Technique (PIT) to stop the vehicle. Deputies were then able to approach and take Duran safely into custody.
Duran showed signs of impairment and deputies found open containers of alcohol inside the vehicle. He was taken to the hospital to obtain a blood sample and determine his level of intoxication before being transported and booked into the Bonneville County Jail.
Mr. Duran was booked into jail on felonies for driving under the influence and eluding.
No one else was in the vehicle with him.
The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office reminds everyone of how important it is to avoid getting behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or using intoxicating substances, regardless of how much. It is not worth the risk to other drivers and yourself. It’s much easier to plan ahead and find a safe ride home.

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
