"Yeah, I'm proud of him," Shoshone County Sheriff Mitch Alexander said Wednesday. "From what I hear he probably saved the guy's life."

And the punch?

"He's from the (Silver) Valley, he's tough," Alexander said. "In our line of work, dealing with drunks - it happens frequently."

According to an incident report produced by a Kootenai County Sheriff's Office deputy, the intoxicated man was staying in the area with co-workers as part of a company retreat. Full story. David Cole, Cda Press
