KAMIAH -- Charges in last year's July shooting incident near Kamiah have been dismissed due to lack of evidence, however, with the option to refile. Investigation is continuing by the Lewis County Sheriff's Office.
In Jan. 11 hearings in Lewis County District Court before Judge Michael Griffin, prosecuting attorney Kimron Torgerson issued motions to dismiss charges in two cases: Doran C. Eslinger, 53, for aggravated assault, attempted robbery, and the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime; and Harold D. Smart, 42, for unlawful discharge of a firearm at a dwelling/house, aggravated assault and attempted robbery.
Charges in this matter were initially filed following an early morning shooting incident July 31, 2011, which started with an argument about stolen money. Three people were treated for minor injuries following the incident.
Still at large, Steven R. Francis, 40, of Kamiah, has an outstanding arrest warrant in this case for three counts of attempted murder in the second degree. Anyone with information concerning Francis' whereabouts is asked to contact LCSO at 937-2447.
