Nathan Paul Davenport, 34, and Matthew Taber
Annable, 39, both of whom lived in Boundary
County near Eastport when their alleged crime
spree began, were indicted Wednesday by a
federal grand jury in Boise for multiple bank
larcenies, conspiracy, and use of a deadly
weapon during a felony offense, U.S. Attorney
Wendy J. Olson announced.
The indictment, which supersedes an earlier
indictment filed only against Davenport, charges
that on January 10, Davenport and Annable,
aiding and abetting each other, broke into and
stole cash from an automated teller machine
(ATM) located at the Idaho First Bank in McCall,
Idaho.
The indictment alleges that they possessed,
carried, used, and discharged a firearm,
specifically a Ruger semiautomatic rifle, in
connection with the offense. The rifle was used
to shoot at pursuing police officers.
The indictment additionally charges both men
with individual ATM larcenies committed against
Idaho Banking Company in Boise and Meridian on
January 5.

The indictment also alleges conspiracy to commit
a string of ATM larcenies in December, 2013 and
January, 2014, which occurred in Wyoming,
Colorado and Utah and in Boise and Meridian and
finally cumulated with the ATM theft in McCall.
Forfeiture allegations are also filed for the
purpose of forfeiting firearms connected with
the crimes and proceeds of the crimes.
“The theft of the McCall ATM and subsequent
shootout with local law enforcement officers
were violent and dangerous acts,” said Olson.
“Where firearms are used to facilitate crimes
such as this one and the associated conspiracy,
Idaho law enforcement’s strong partnerships and
ability to work with agencies in other states
allow us to move quickly and decisively. The
investigation has been detailed and thorough to
allow us to bring these additional charges.”
“The FBI appreciates the outstanding cooperation
and professionalism of the Boise Police
Department, Ada County Sheriff’s Office, McCall
Police Department, Valley County Sheriff’s
Office, Idaho State Police, United States
Attorney’s Office, and many other law
enforcement agencies in Idaho, Utah, Texas, and
Wyoming,” said Mary Rook, FBI Special Agent in
Charge for Utah, Idaho and Montana. “The joint
efforts of these agencies were instrumental in
resolving this case and ending a trail of ATM
burglaries throughout the west. This case is an
excellent example of what can be accomplished
through cooperative law enforcement action.”
Davenport and Annable were arrested without
incident on January 12, in Orem, Utah, in
connection with a separate ATM robbery in
Wyoming. The two men are currently in federal
custody in Wyoming.

are not evidence. The person is presumed

doubt in a court of law. |
