This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies located in the American Redoubt region that are of interest to preppers and survivalists. Today, an update on a 2024 Sandpoint, Idaho arson attack.

Idaho

Idaho Arsonist Gets 15 Years for Torching Lawmaker’s Business. Here is an excerpt:

“On July 4, 2024, the Army Surplus store in Sandpoint, owned by State Rep. Cornel Rasor (R – Westmond), was burned to the ground. Initial rumors were that perhaps a firework had hit the building and started the fire. However, police later said that arson was suspected in the fire.

Meyer was eventually identified as the suspect and arrested. She was initially deemed unfit to stand trial, but after undergoing a court-ordered evaluation at Idaho State Hospital North, it was determined that she was fit to stand trial. Meyer then changed her plea from not guilty to guilty.”

JWR’s Comments: The image above is a still from a video shot by Casey Whalen, courtesy of X/Twitter.

Mr. Rasor’s surplus store in Sandpoint was apparently the inspiration for the fictional “Grogan’s War Surplus” store in the humorous books by the late Patrick McManus.
