Man charged in Paul house crash

A 17-year-old father accused of crashing his car into a Paul house on Sept. 20, injuring his girlfriend and 5-day-old baby, has been charged with aggravated driving under the influence, injury to a child and driving without privileges.

David R. Torres will be arraigned Monday in Minidoka County. This marks his third driving without privileges charge, according to court records.

After the crash, authorities said that Torres drove his Chevrolet Cobalt into Donna Holder's house along 123 E. Ellis St. in Paul. Neighbors found Torres' infant son on the trunk of the car, the baby's 17-year-old mother trapped inside, and Torres lying on the ground.

The crash caused more than $20,000 in estimated damages, and destroyed a fire hydrant and a power pole, according to the crash report.

Missing Filer teenager found

A Filer girl who went missing Monday was found Tuesday in the Twin Falls area, according to the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office.

A photo of Shelby Lynn Henery appeared on the Idaho Missing Person Clearinghouse Tuesday, which stated the 16-year-old "was last seen when (her) parents dropped her off at the Filer High School."

She was located in the area, though, and released back to her parents, said Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Lori Stewart on Tuesday afternoon.

Circumstances behind the brief disappearance were not suspicious, said Stewart.

Teen charged in weekend rollover

A Twin Falls teen is accused of misdemeanor reckless driving for a Saturday rollover that injured a teenage passenger, said Twin Falls Police Lt. Craig Stotts on Tuesday.

The wreck happened in an undeveloped field west of Walmart off of Cheney Drive in Twin Falls, at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday. A 17-year-old male riding in the front seat was hurt and taken by air ambulance to Boise, said Stotts.

Stotts said the juvenile driver, Calon Eaton, was cited after the crash and the teens are all from Twin Falls.

A backseat passenger, also 17, and the driver were uninjured, Stotts said.

The teens were allegedly driving in dirt and "messing around" in a field before the crash, which happened after the driver pulled the emergency brake and rolled the 1993 Jeep Cherokee, Stotts said.
