Payette police seek robbers



Payette — Payette police are searching for a man and a woman who held up the Payette public swimming pool Thursday afternoon.

Payette Police Chief Mark Clark said the couple entered the pool and the man brandished a handgun and ordered the 18-year-old employee into a back room where money was kept. He said the female kept watch while the man took the employee to the back to get the money.

Police placed both Westside Elementary School and Payette High School on lockdown during the search for the couple.

One car was stopped near the high school with a man fitting the description of the male, but police determined he was not the suspect. Payette County also distributed a “reverse 911” call, which automatically dialed residents and businesses in the Payette area to describe the suspects and inform people to call 911 should they spot the individuals in question.

Police are looking for a man in his 30s or 40s with dark blondish hair and about 6-feet, 1-inch in height with a medium build.

He was believed to have been wearing a gray sweatshirt with blue jeans.

The female suspect had a piercing in her nose and was wearing a blue or black sweatshirt with white writing on the front and blue jeans.

Police said the suspects were believed to be in a white sports utility vehicle with chrome wheels.

Maybe 50 years ago. That place has been an eye sore for decades.

Obama is only helping finish it off. "

" "places like england where they have no guns has 10x less the amount of armed anything that we do.. So do the math you red neck ignorant people"

For one, why would we want to be like England? You have obviously never been there.

Two...good luck trying to take the guns away from Americans. I would hate to be the person at my door step that had to tell me to hand over my guns.

And three...dope heads don't rob people. Dope heads, as in users of marijuana, are pretty relaxed and/or lazy people when they are high, and dope is cheaper than beer. They don't run around smoking dope while robbing people braniac. Maybe a hard drug user that is desperate because withdrawals are starting to set in would do such a thing, but not a "dope head."


I'll put a sign outside my home that says "Owner is packing" and you put one that says "I'll shake a stick at you" and we'll see who gets robbed first. "

" The robbery in payette had nothing to do with what your talking about! It was two very white dope heads, who were stupid and high enough to rob a public pool for little money, and by the way places like england where they have no guns has 10x less the amount of armed anything that we do.. So do the math you red neck ignorant people! "

" Would you cross into N. Korea or Iran without proper documentation? Well, not unless you wanted to die, and last I checked they don't have border isssues like we do.

Yes, build a fence, put two doors, one for coming in, and one for going out, and anything that tries to come through anything but the entry door....shoot them.


After a few shots fired, the world will get the point and go somewhere else to free load.






On subject...an armed society is a polite society. If everyone was packing, would anyone dare committ a crime against another person like this? Well, not unless they wanted to get shot, or were just plain stupid.


Criminals generally only attack those who are easy/weaker targets, it's all about an easy/quick score, not some long drawn out battle for 50 bucks, even though many turn into that because well, most criminals are just plain stupid. Why else are they stealing 50 bucks from a grocery store/pool/gas station? Any monkey can make 50 bucks without sticking a gun in someone's face.

Any sane criminal wouldn't attack a man or woman that was visiably armed. Sure, you may look like a crazy person walking down the street with two visable 45's strapped on your hips, but your wallet could be dangling out of rear pocket and not a soul would dare touch it.

But the moment you are vurnerable...thats when a criminal will take advantage of you. "
