Police confirm 68-year-old man arrested in connection with Pocatello homicide near downtown

POCATELLO — A 68-year-old local man has been booked into the Bannock County Jail in connection with a homicide investigation that began Thursday afternoon near downtown Pocatello. Pocatello police confirmed Friday that Ronald Dean Cantrell, of Pocatello, is connected to the investigation into the death in the area of Laab’s Apartments in the 1100 block of North Main Street. Cantrell was detained shortly after police were called to the apartments at 2:10 p.m. Thursday and ultimately booked into the jail around 10:40 p.m., authorities said. The roster lists the charge as “homicide manslaughter vol/unvo” under Idaho Code 18-4006 and lists no bond. No criminal case had been filed in Bannock County court as of Friday morning. It wasn’t clear whether the roster charge reflects a final charging decision, which rests with prosecutors. Police were called to the apartments around Thursday afternoon for a reported disturbance. When officers arrived, they found a man dead. Police have not said how the man died, other than that it was not a shooting. They have not released his name.

Idaho State Bengals host Bobcats with playoff hopes at stake

As November brings colder weather and hotter football, the Idaho State Bengals are ready for meaningful games. The Bengals (6-3, 3-3 Big Sky) welcome the reigning FCS national champion Montana State Bobcats (8-1, 5-1) to the ICCU Dome at 4 p.m. Saturday. Idaho State has had an up-and-down middle of the season and is coming off a thrilling 34-27 road win over Utah Tech. After starting 4-0 and ranking in the top 15, the Bengals went 2-3, dropping in the polls and even falling out of the rankings before climbing back to No. 22. Saturday, though, rankings won’t matter, and the Bengals are excited for the challenge. “We’re excited about the opponent we’re playing, and we are confident,” head coach Cody Hawkins said. “There’s that urgency to button things down because these next three games are going to be heavyweight fights. It’s the three best teams we’ve played, both physically and in the standings. If you look at how things have gone, our guys are excited and ready to go.” They will have to do it without their leading rusher. Sophomore running back Tytan Mason suffered a hamstring injury against Utah Tech and is “probably done for the year,” Hawkins

Pocatello City Council to vote Thursday on $4.5 million settlement over fatal police shooting of Victor Perez

POCATELLO — The city has tentatively agreed to pay $4.5 million to settle the federal civil rights lawsuit brought by the family of Victor Perez. Perez was 17 and had autism and cerebral palsy when Pocatello police shot and killed him in his family’s North Harrison Avenue backyard in April 2025. Federal court records show the settlement was reached Aug. 18 in mediation. It surfaced in an Oct. 26 court filing, and U.S. District Judge David C. Nye approved a portion of it Oct. 27. The Pocatello City Council is scheduled to vote Thursday on an agenda item that would authorize Mayor Mark Dahlquist to sign documents needed to resolve pending litigation and would allow the use of reserve funds to do so. The council's agenda item does not name the case. City Councilmember Dakota Bates and Jennifer Call, the Perez family’s Pocatello attorney, both confirmed to the Idaho State Journal on Wednesday that it pertains to the Perez lawsuit. Call declined to comment further until the settlement is complete. She said the family’s attorneys plan to hold a press conference but have not set a date. Those attorneys include her co-counsel at Oakland, California-based Burris Nisenbaum Curry & Lacy.
