The woman arrested on Tuesday night after she allegedly abandoned her two young sons, ages 6 and 3, along Interstate 90 in Post Falls faces felony charges from Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office. Shannon M. Germanton, 27, also known Shannon Duval, is currently in custody at Spokane County Jail where she awaits extradition to Idaho for two felony charges of injury to a child with a warrant bond set at $50,000. An anonymous tip to Spokane County Sheriff’s Office directed law enforcement to Spokane Valley where she was arrested by Spokane County deputies on a misdemeanor warrant for negligent driving. Her children were found on Tuesday morning at a construction site near the Beck Road interchange around 9 a.m. The boys told deputies their mother ran out of gas and went for help/SR. More here.
