BINGHAM COUNTY - Deputies from the Bingham County Sheriff's Office were dispatched Monday to a house near Firth.

The initial call was for a suicidal person.

When they arrived, deputies found the body of 45-year-old Greg Porter.

After interviewing Porter's wife, Dorthy, detectives from Bingham County and the Blackfoot Police Department determined this was a homicide, and not a suicide.

52-year-old Dorthy Porter was arrested and put in the Bingham County Jail.

She is charged with homicide and possession of a firearm. She will be arraigned in court Tuesday afternoon.

There have been no previous calls to this home, involving this couple.

We are following this story and will have more throughout the day on Eyewitness News.
