ID: helpful reminder for aspiring thieves

If you are going to take up a career as an identity thief, it's best not to steal the I.D.'s of deputy prosecutors. From the Times-News:

Police recover arsenal of stolen weapons

What started out to be an attempt to a help a stranded motorist has turned into a major burglary investigation, resulting in the arrest of six people... Two individuals were standing in the barrow pit near the car. As the officer pulled behind the vehicle, the driver took off, nearly hitting one of the people standing nearby...

The officers detained the two men and called for backup. While waiting, the officers searched the barrow pit and found the identification documents belonging to Cassia County deputy prosecutor Blaine Cannon and Minidoka County deputy prosecutor Nicky Cannon...

Brent Matherly... and Michael Angel Oteagui... were transported to the Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center, where additional stolen items were recovered from the suspects...


Thanks to my southern Idaho upbringing, I know what a barrow pit is. I also know how to pronounce "Oteagui."
