Boise husband and wife arrested. Police say they threatened, stalked people
A husband and wife have been arrested on charges after authorities said they threatened several people, including a local police officer and the officer's family.
The Boise Police Department began investigating the 42-year-old man after learning he allegedly violated two restraining orders, according to a news release from the agency. The protected individuals received a large document from the man 'containing threatening language,' and he also sent it to others locally and across the country, 'threatening additional people by name,' police said.
The man was arrested Saturday at his Boise home and was booked into the Ada County Jail, the release said. He was charged with two felony counts of stalking in the first degree, court records showed.
His wife, 39, was arrested after police alleged that she threatened a local law enforcement officer and that officer's family, according to the release. She was taken into custody by the Garden City Police Department on Monday on suspicion of misdemeanor telecommunication harassment and booked into the Ada County Jail, records showed.
The investigation is ongoing, with additional charges possible, police said.
'Thanks to the diligent work of our officers and our law enforcement partners, these threats were taken seriously and addressed quickly,' Boise Police Lt. Andrew Linn said in the release. 'We are grateful for the coordination and professionalism that allowed this dangerous situation to be resolved safely.'
