A federal grand jury in Boise returned an indictment last week charging an Idaho man with a hate crime, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment alleges that on Oct. 12, 2022, Matthew Alan Lehigh, 31, attempted to cause bodily injury to two people in Boise by driving his car at them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Boise Police apprehended Lehigh, and the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney\u2019s Office filed state charges against Lehigh, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted of the federal charges, Lehigh faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Katherine Horwitz for the District of Idaho and Trial Attorney Alec Ward of the Civil Rights Division\u2019s Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

If members of the public have information concerning hate crimes or wish to report a similar crime, they should contact the FBI at (208) 344-7843 or the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office at (208) 334-1211.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
