Jogger Attacked On Centennial Trail

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department is investigating an attack on a jogger on the Prairie Trail, just east of Huetter Road early Sunday morning. Initial investigation indicates that Jonathan Taylor, 46 of Post Falls had just turned east bound on the Prairie Trail from Huetter Road and had stopped to take a drink from his carried container when he was struck on the head from behind with a piece of wood.  Taylor was knocked to the ground and lost consciousness for a few moments.  When he came to, he was able to use his cellular phone to call his wife, who came and found him and called 9-1-1. Taylor told investigators that he never saw the person who hit him.  There is no known motive for the attack at this time. Mr. Taylor was treated and released at Kootenai Medical center/Capt. Ben Wolfinger, Kootenai County Sheriff's Department.

Question: Do you feel safe while using the Centennial Trail?
