On March 9, 2024, at approximately 6:45 PM, an Idaho County Deputy was on a routine traffic stop in White Bird, Idaho. While speaking with the driver, a male pedestrian crossed the street and was standing in the oncoming lane, ignoring several verbal commands to wait on the sidewalk until the deputy could speak with him.
After completing the traffic stop, the deputy then spoke to the male. During the interaction, the male determined to be under the influence, and resisted when he was advised he was under arrest. While attempting to place him in handcuffs, the male hit the deputy with a closed fist to the head.
Kasper Harvey, age 35, of White Bird, Idaho was arrested for aggravated battery on an officer, misdemeanor intoxicated pedestrian in the roadway, and two counts of misdemeanor resisting and obstructing an officer.
