His condition is unknown.

 The sheriff’s office says thirty-four year-old Vernon Spoonhunter of Ethete was arrested for Driving Under The Influence after allegedly wrecking his pickup at the intersection of Angler Road and Kinnear Spur Road Saturday afternoon.

 Spoonhunter was arrested after being treated for injuries.

 And, a Sheriff’s Deputy and two search-and-rescue volunteers spent 4 hours late Sunday and early Monday morning looking for two young men from Cheyenne who were lost in the Sawmill Creek area.

 The men were hiking and had become lost but were located and returned to Lander around 2:30 this morning.

 Anyone who receives such an email is warned NOT to open it or their computer will be corrupted with a virus that collects personal information.

 The Police Department says Walmart is aware of the scam and the company is NOT charging items online to credit cards or sending those emails.

 However, the number of alcohol or drug related crashes and deaths is down from 9 to 7 compared to the same time period last year.

 Single vehicle roll-overs continue to be the most common type of highway fatality with 15 occurring so far this year in Wyoming, and, apparently seatbelts were not used in any of those fatal accidents.

 Generally, people who do not wear seatbelts are ejected in roll overs and are crushed to death by their vehicle.

 A two-week, zero tolerance campaign to encourage seat belt use by local and state law enforcement starts today.

 The Casper Star Tribune reports 43-year-old Naim “Keith” Labaki (luh BAW key) was being pursued by law enforcement for firing his rifle at two locations in Evanston when he crashed his S-U-V into an unmarked police vehicle then pointed his gun at the officer and was shot to death.

 Labaki was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

 Authorities say they have had contact with Labaki since 1989 but did not elaborate.

 The vehicle was found in a ditch on the family’s property.

 Inside, the family found a woman’s pants, shoes and her identification.

 The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.

 A report from the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says 45-year-old Shey Elan Bruce of Shoshoni is under arrest, charged with Second Degree Murder and Domestic Violence Battery related to the Laster death.

 However, the Sheriff’s Department says no additional information can be released at this time.

 Both the Sheriff’s Department and the Fremont County Coroner’s Office continue to investigate the death and autopsy results are pending.

 Shey Bruce is currently being held at the Fremont County Detention Center and will face a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning.

 Meanwhile, the search for 62-year-old Curt LeClair has been scaled down since his body has not been found in the 9 mile area along the canal between LeClair’s last known location and the Pilot Butte Reservoir.

 After using sonar to search that area, the Sheriff says it is believed LeClair is “either not in the Wyoming Canal, has moved through the diversion system at Pilot Butte and has entered the reservoir itself or has moved miles down the irrigation canal.

 Hornecker says LeClair’s disappearance is being considered an “open criminal investigation until evidence concludes otherwise.”

 The Sheriff says while the concentrated search has been scaled down, authorities will continue search and rescue exercises over the next few days in an effort to find LeClair.
