announced that law enforcement officials captured the two suspects involved in the coordinated escape of a prison inmate at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise Wednesday, which resulted in three law enforcement officers being shot and injured, according to police.
Law enforcement officers found the car the two used to escape, a gray 2020 Honda Civic, in northern Idaho where they then acquired a different vehicle and fled the area. "We believe that this was a coordinated attack, ambush on Department of Correction officers," Boise Police Department Chief Ron Winegar said of the escape."Certainly a planned endeavor to free him from custody."The two suspects had a housing overlap from December 2020 through January 2024 – where both individuals were housed in an Idaho Maximum Security institution, at times sharing the same housing unit, according to Idaho Department of Correction Director Josh Tewalt.
At approximately 2 a.m. Wednesday, March 20, Meade was transported by ambulance to Saint Alphonsus to receive medical treatment for self-inflicted wounds to his face and body, according to IDOC Director Josh Tewalt. Two IDOC officers accompanied Meade in the ambulance with additional armed IDOC staff following behind.
BPD officers responded to Saint Alphonsus after receiving reports of an active shooter. According to police, one officer fired their weapon at an armed man he saw at the scene. That individual was later identified as an IDOC employee. He was not seriously injured. IDOC said their officers were in uniform at the time of the shooting.
