Spokane man sentenced for attempted robbery on Coeur d’Alene reservation

From staff reports

A 19-year-old from Spokane was sentenced to 41 months in prison in U.S. District Court on Friday for attempting to rob a man on the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation last January.

Isiah James Harrington and McKenna Marie Buss used Snapchat last January to track the victim, who they believed to be carrying a large amount of cash, to the Walmart in Spokane Valley and to a home in Plummer, Idaho, on the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, according to a news release.

Buss pleaded guilty in federal court in October and scheduled to be sentenced in May. She is living in Seattle.

Harrington got out of a vehicle and pointed a gun at the victim demanding money, but he and Buss fled the scene without any money when neighbors came out to help, the release said.

Harrington pleaded guilty in September. He was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release after his prison sentence.
