Matthew Lehigh pleaded guilty to multiple hate crimes across Boise over a week in 2022 A man in Idaho was sentenced to prison for an anti-LGBTQ crime spree, including multiple attempts to strike people with his car. Matthew Lehigh, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts of hate crimes after terrorizing the LGBTQ community in Boise, Idaho for a week in 2022.

Whole Foods employees called the police, but Lehigh fled the store before they got there. The next day, Lehigh approached a transgender employee of the Boise Public Library and assaulted her. According to prosecutors, Lehigh called her a slur, punched her, and threatened to stab her before a security guard intervened. The security guard tried to follow Lehigh on foot to his car when the attacker tried to accelerate and ram him. The guard was able to dive for cover behind a nearby barrier.
