High-speed chase through Pocatello ends in crash
BANNOCK COUNTY - A Chubbuck man is behind bars after leading police on a high speed chase in Pocatello.

20-year-old Heaston Lopez took off during a traffic stop on Jefferson Avenue.

Lopez was determined to get away; he went as fast as 80 MPH through the streets of Pocatello. But it all came to an end fairly quickly on Pocatello Creek Road, when he ran into another car.

Lopez already has felony warrants in Bannock and Bingham counties.

Quran burning

A Florida pastor says he is likely to burn copies of the Quran on September 11th. Gen. David Petraeus says the action could endanger US troops. The pastor says he's just standing up to radical Islam. What do you think of the idea?

  • A stupid idea. His symbolic protest puts real soldiers in danger, and shows the world we practice the same intolerance we condemn in our enemy.
  • A great idea. We need to spend less time worrying about whether our enemies in this war might be offended. If this is how he chooses to express himself, I'm all for it.
  • Not sure.
