 Nathan
Paul Davenport, 34, Bonners Ferry, was
indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in
Boise for bank larceny by use of a dangerous
weapon and use of a deadly weapon during a
felony offense, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson
announced.
The indictment charges that on January 10,
Davenport broke into and stole cash from an
automated teller machine (ATM) located at the
Idaho First Bank in McCall, Idaho. The
indictment further alleges that while using a
Ruger assault rifle, he shot at responding law
enforcement officers in connection with the
offense.
“Those who use firearms to commit violent crimes
will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted,”
said Olson. “The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office
will move swiftly and decisively where evidence
shows that those individuals attempt to injure
law enforcement officers who themselves are
trying to keep our communities safe. Along with
our local law enforcement partners, we will
continue to investigate this incident.”
Davenport and another individual, Matthew Taber
Annable, 39, were arrested without incident on
January 12 in Orem, Utah, in connection with a
separate ATM robbery in Wyoming.
The two men appeared in federal court in Salt
Lake City on Monday afternoon on a Wyoming
federal complaint charging them with an ATM
theft in Douglas, Wyoming, on December 8, 2013.
The charge of bank larceny by use of a dangerous
weapon as charged in the Idaho indictment is
punishable by up to 25 years in prison, a
maximum fine of $250,000, and up to five years
of supervised release. The charge of use of a
deadly weapon during the commission of a felony
offense is punishable by a mandatory minimum of
10 years up to life imprisonment, a maximum fine
of $250,000, and up to five years’ supervised
release.
The case is being investigated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the Idaho State Police,
the Valley County Sheriff’s Office, and the
McCall Police Department.
A number of FBI agents were in Boundary County
searching and gathering evidence at Davenport's
home in the Eastport area.
Indictments and complaints are a means of
charging a person with criminal activity. They
are not evidence. The person is presumed
innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt in a court of law. |
