Hit-and-run suspect booked

A man suspected of being involved with a hit-and-run in Wallace has turned himself in.

The Shoshone County Prosecutors Office reports that on Tuesday at approximately 1916 hours, Shoshone County Sheriff’s deputies (SCSO) responded to a report of a female sustaining injuries stemming from a vehicle-pedestrian incident in Wallace.

The victim, 31- year old Nicol Carvalho of Wallace, was treated by Shoshone County District 1 EMS and transported to Spokane for further medical treatment of undisclosed injuries.

After an initial investigation by SCSO and the Osburn Police Department, a felony arrest warrant was issued on Wednesday for 58- year old Terry Houghton for charges of aggravated battery and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death.

A day later, Houghton turned himself in and will make his first appearance in court Friday morning.

Cash bail is presently set at $100,000.

Osburn Police Chief Darell Braaten said the investigation of this incident is ongoing.
