PM Scanner Traffic — 8.6.14

Kerri Thoreson (RE: 2:03 item): "I love Post Falls. Driving down Poleline at Chase Road I saw a brown horse running frantically back and forth across the street. She'd evidently escaped from her pasture and was trying to get back to her pasture mate. So I stopped my car in the middle of the street, blocking the path. Meanwhile another passerby who happened to have a dog leash was able to walk up and lead her back home. A Post Falls Police patrol officer arrived and provided an escort along Chase Road. And the two equine friends were reunited."
