Good evening and thank you for
joining us for KREM 2 news at
6:00 tonight. I Mark Hanrahan
and I'm Whitney ward.
Thank you for being here.
We begin tonight with new body
Cam footage from the night
Gonzaga head basketball coach.
Mark Few was arrested for driving
under the influence in Corda Lane.
He was cited for misdemeanor DUI that night
and will serve a three game suspension.
We asked for this footage because
he is a public figure and we want to
learn more about what happened in
the moments before few was arrested.
We also wanted to see how the
police report of fuse arrests.
Lined up with what actually happened
in the video crypto is Ian's may has
been watching the footage today.
We
received more than three hours of
body camera footage from the night.
Few was arrested and cited for DUI.
It shows the entire incident from
when police pulled you over to
when he was released from custody.
After being pulled over a few first tells
officers he hasn't had anything to drink.
How much have you had to
drink today? Nothing after
speaking with you about his day
on Hayden Lake with his family,
the officers asked him to
step out of his vehicle.
He initially refuses.
I'm actually step out your car
or your dogs in a jump out.
You want to rope the windows.
Or rolled up halfway just so so we know
they're not going to jump out. Step out.
Yeah, well you don't have a choice.
After a few exits the SUV,
the officers tell him they want
to do an evaluation of him.
He refuses saying it's because of
previous injuries and his feelings at
the field sobriety test is subjective.
So why don't you want to do the
evaluations? Because I don't.
Even if I am standing here on one
leg or two legs, it's it's up to.
It's totally. Subjective and I
don't trust subjective deals.
Few goes on to admit he had drank during
the day, but that he stopped hours ago.
He told me that you had nothing to drink.
Earlier on I had a couple beers,
but I've been literally cleaning
up the beach and doing everything.
And when was the last time
that you had a beer? Probably.
4 hours ago, 4 hours and you
said you had a few beers today.
No, I didn't. I said I had.
One or two bears. OK, so you had
one or two beers last drink was.
4 hours ago they detained
Pfeuffer refusing the tests and
put him in the back of a police
vehicle. He's visibly upset.
If you end up taking two
breathalyzer tests during which
he blows over the legal limit,
so your two results were point
119.120. Alright, so like I
said before limit is .08.
So you're above the limit I
place you under arrest for DUI
after going to the hospital due
to few requesting a blood test.
A Sergeant explains why he's
only getting a citation.
The officer who you've been dealing with.
Does it didn't know your name to
the extent of who you are and I'm
not here about your case or what
occurred or anything like that.
Sir, I got you but what I stopped by
for essentially was hey, I'm like.
He's a great guy. He's in Spokane.
This guy is going, but there's
really no reason we need a book.
And probably in jail.
So let's just give him a citation
in addition to his three game suspension.
Few was also fined $1000
as part of his guilty plea.
He also has to complete 24 hours of
community service by February of next year,
along with a year of unsupervised probation.
Other penalties include an ignition
interlock system on his vehicle,
and his license was suspended for
90 days starting on October 6th.
However, starting on November 5th,
he will have temporary driving
privileges in order to go to
and from work in The Newsroom.
Ian Smith crime two news
the Boy C community still
reeling today after yesterday's tragic
shooting at the Boise Towne Square Mall.
At least two people were killed
after a gunman opened fire there,
and we now know the gunman
died of his injuries as well.
Now four others, including a boy,
C police officer,
were injured shortly after.
Officers arrived to shots fired there,
officers found a person matching the
suspect's description and that is when
we're told there was a shootout that
resulted in that police officers injury.
That officer has been treated.
And released
a couple of hours ago, the boy C Police
Department confirmed the shooter,
Jacob Berquist, died at the hospital.
He was listed in critical condition
when he was taken there last night.
The other two victims were
identified as 26 year old Joe Acker
and 49 year old Roberto Padilla.
Arguez police say they have
executed a search warrant related
to the investigation. We
did conduct a search warrant at a
location on North Fry that is related
to this investigation, although the
evidence taken from that location.
Is still being processed at this time,
and there's really not a
lot that I can provide.
In addition to that, other than that,
we have taken items of
interest from that location.
Now police would not say if the
location was a suspect's home.
No motive has been determined yet,
but police are hoping that his social
media accounts will help give some clues.
The family of Joe Acker, meanwhile,
which is one of the victims,
released this statement,
saying Joe has always been a hero.
He was the type of person who always
wanted to help people and because of his
heroics they say many lives were saved.
The Gun Violence Archive says this
was the 585th mass shooting in America
this year and coming up later in the
broadcast we are hearing from people
who witnessed the event. First hand
Washington Secretary of State Kim
Wyman is now accepting a new job
to lead the Biden administration's
effort to protect future elections.
She'll serve as senior election
security lead for the cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Wyman will work to make sure
federal elections are secure.
Wyman released a statement
today writing in part quote.
I remained remained committed to
protecting the integrity of our
elections and working closely with
local and state elections officials
nationwide to bolster this foundational.
Pillar of our democracy unquote Wyman's
resignation as Washington Secretary of State,
will take effect on November 19th.
Governor Jay Insley will need to appoint
a new Secretary of State who will serve
until next year's general election.
It was just loud and terrifying to
hear everything just go down so quick.
So some very scary moments at
University High School yesterday
when a team of sheriff's deputies
rushed into an art class they were
responding to a report of a
teenager with a gun at school.
University High school staff called
deputies after a student reported seeing
a freshman put a gun in his backpack.
Deputies say they found the gun
and they say it was loaded.
A 14 year old boy was arrested.
Meantime, the district is praising
the student who saw the gun
and immediately said something.
And in this event that campaign the
see something say something worked
exactly as it was supposed to wear.
Another student saw something
that was concerning to them and
report it immediately to somebody
that could make a difference.
The district director of Security
says only about 10 to 15 minutes
elapsed between the time when
the student reported what he or
she saw and officers actually
securing it the weapon.
So they say they didn't
need to go into lockdown.
North Idaho College has a
new interim president there.
Wrestling coach Michael Subali was
named the new interim president by
the board of Trustees last night.
Sabally came to the college back in 2019
as the head coach and as an instructor.
He does have a doctorate in educational
leadership from Southwestern University.
He'll take over that position in two weeks.
Meantime, the search for a new president,
a permanent one,
came after the board terminated
previous President Rick McLennan
contract earlier or last month.
Rather
all right? We're going to take
a quick break from headlines
started out as a nice fall day.
Certainly the sun was shining,
but it turned into kind of a windy,
rainy fall night.
Yes, get back out to meteorologist Thomas.
Patrick in the outdoor weather center.
During our 5:00 PM broadcast,
Thomas he had the umbrella.
I see you no longer have that. Yeah,
that rain moved through pretty quickly
so it rained for about the better.
Part of let's say about 2025 minutes
or so that rain already pushing on
the winds are still swirling around,
and they've been kind of switching
directions here recently.
At least during our six o'clock broadcast,
could probably hear it on the microphone.
Here's our Doppler radar,
so the rain came through pretty much
right at the top of our five o'clock
broadcast past Spokane right now,
still raining,
just tapering off in Corda Lane,
but still moving towards Sandpoint.
Just progressing towards the
north and east in our region.
Here are these wind speeds up to 20 to
32 mph throughout the afternoon hours,
mainly as that rain just moved through.
But even though the rain looks
like it's finished for tonight,
our next weather system probably
offers even more rainfall overall,
especially for our northern regions.
Thankfully no rain for this upcoming weekend,
which bodes well for a dry trick
or treat this upcoming Sunday.
Alright, thank you very much, Thomas.
Well, if you were out and about
around town you may see some familiar
faces at the local grocery store.
Will explain my big stars like
Zooey Deschanel are right
here in Spokane coming up.
Plus a little later, Wallace,
Idaho has only one bank in town.
But now that bank is set to close,
leaving a lot of residents frustrated.
Will let you know what happens now.
