A Dalton Gardens man who had been arrested for throwing gasoline on his wife in November shot himself to death after a police pursuit that ended near Fernan late Sunday night, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department. Daniel Joe Zehm, 52, (pictured) killed himself near the I-90 underpass after the tires of his vehicles were flattened by an Idaho State Police spike strip. Sheriff's deputies, Coeur d'Alene police and the ISP were involved in the pursuit which began when a relative of Zehm's reported at 11 p.m. Sunday that Zehm had his wife, Sondra, and a gun with him in the Fernan area, with plans to go to Kellogg. Zehm's wife had filed a no-contact order against him. Zehm was spotted near the Fernan Rifle Ranch on Fernan Lake Road. Deputies chased Zehm up to Fernan Saddle and back, trying to stop him. At one point, Sondra Zehm jumped out of the moving vehicle -- and wasn't hurt. The Spokane County Sheriff's Office will investigate the case since three local agencies were involved.
