Sheriff Ben upset after felon arrest

The Kootenai County Sheriff is upset that a repeat violent offender was out of prison and is said the problem stems with a law passed by state leaders.

Steven Droogs was taken into custody in Bayview on Friday morning after investigators said he ran from a deputy, hid in an attic and attacked a Sheriff’s K9 unit. Droogs had violated his probation on a manslaughter conviction and was wanted for aggravated assault.

Sheriff Ben Wolfinger said he wants to know why corrections staff are not keeping a closer eye on released offenders like Droogs. Wolfinger is also taking aim at a fairly recent Idaho law that’s aimed at reducing prison populations/ Taylor Viydo , KREM 2. More here .
