12-year-old arrested in Medical Lake arson

A 12-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of starting a fire that destroyed a historic Medical Lake home Saturday. Deputy Mike McNees, of the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office, investigated and determined the fire had been set. On Tuesday, the boy told McNees he had ignited a propane bottle on the home’s second floor and left it, thinking he had turned it off. The boy has been arrested on a charge of second-degree arson, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.

Idaho makes up with Five Wives

The Idaho State Liquor Division announced Wednesday that it will make Five Wives vodka available in Idaho by special order “to avoid unnecessary litigation.” In a news release, state Liquor Division Director Jeff Anderson said the division will immediately begin accepting special order requests for the Ogden, Utah-made product, which it previously had declined to carry, in part because it deemed the brand offensive to the state’s substantial Mormon population. “In a shared desire to avoid unnecessary litigation costs to Ogden’s Own Distillery and the people of Idaho, today we have informed the makers of ‘Five Wives’ vodka that we will immediately begin processing special order requests for both on-premise licensees and retail customers,” Anderson said.
