CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. — A Magic Valley woman who was having an affair with a Colorado man and helped him after he beat his fiancee to death with a baseball bat was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison.
Krystal Lee, 33, acknowledged in February 2019 that she helped clean up the bloody crime scene after Patrick Frazee killed Kelsey Berreth at her townhome in Woodland Park, a mountain community of 7,500 people about two hours south of Denver. The sentence was the maximum allowed under a plea deal.

BLACKFOOT — Blackfoot attorney Justin Oleson has been charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery dating back to September for an incident that allegedly took place during the Eastern Idaho State Fair.
Oleson was charged by Twin Falls Prosecutor Grant Loebs, who is acting as special prosecutor in the matter and acted after two boys and their parents insisted that battery charges be filed.

BOISE — A Meridian-based company agreed last month to pay $5 million to daughters of a Dietrich woman killed by one of its employees in a Jerome County drunken driving crash in 2017.
BSR Ventures, Advanced Heating and Cooling, and then-employee Larry Halbert of Caldwell agreed Dec. 30 to pay that sum to family members of Cheryl Miller after attorneys representing the family made the offer to settle the suit. Fourth District Court Judge Lynn Norton on Jan. 3 entered a judgment awarding the money to the family. According to the lawsuit’s complaint, Advanced Heating and Cooling is a business name assumed by BSR Ventures.

BOISE — A Meridian-based company agreed last month to pay $5 million to daughters of a Dietrich woman killed by one of its employees in a Jerome County drunken driving crash in 2017.
BSR Ventures, Advanced Heating and Cooling, and then-employee Larry Halbert of Caldwell agreed Dec. 30 to pay that sum to family members of Cheryl Miller after attorneys representing the family made the offer to settle the suit. Fourth District Court Judge Lynn Norton on Jan. 3 entered a judgment awarding the money to the family. According to the lawsuit’s complaint, Advanced Heating and Cooling is a business name assumed by BSR Ventures.

TWIN FALLS — Suspects in a counterfeiting ring were caught after they passed two fake $100 bills at a convenience store Monday then invited a clerk to party with them, police say.
Police arrested Equalette Marie Ballesteros, 34; Matthew Islas Rodriguez, 22; Nicole Marie Perez, 34; and Richard John Hernandez, 28, on Tuesday. Ballesteros, Rodriguez and Perez face felony counterfeiting-related charges in Twin Falls County District Court, and Hernandez is facing the same, plus burglary charges, in Jerome County District Court.
