GRANGEVILLE -- Prison time is pending for a convicted burglar and jail escapee.
As part of a plea agreement, Clinton M. Intorf, 22, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary and was sentenced June 12 in District Court to serve on each count a minimum of 18 months to a maximum of three years. Sentences will be served concurrently. He was also ordered to pay $1,101.60 in restitution and $100.50 in court costs.
Charges dropped as part of the agreement were two additional burglary counts, felony possession of a controlled substance, escape, resisting an officer and theft.
District Judge John Bradbury retained jurisdiction in the matter and placed Intorf on a 180-day rider at North Idaho Correctional Institution at Cottonwood. Following review of his performance and evaluations during this time, Intorf will be recommended to either be placed on probation or serve his 18-month-to-three-year prison sentence.
Intorf provided some exercise for local law enforcement last winter with a series of Grangeville burglaries, and then a lucky break from the Idaho County jail.
He was arrested Feb. 22 and charged with involvement in a series of north side burglaries committed between Dec. 21 and Feb. 22 when he was arrested. Five days later, Intorf was able to escape from his cell, due to the lock not being property secured, and subsequently exit the jail located on the second floor of the Idaho County Courthouse. He was at large within the city for nearly 15 hours until that afternoon when he was sighted by an off-duty Grangeville police officer. A subsequent effort of city, county and state law enforcement, along with community vigilance, led to his capture more than an hour later.
Prosecuting attorney Kirk MacGregor handled this case. Intorf was represented by public defender J.D. Hallin.
