A more recent incident was shared on our station's app by a woman using the name 'Shuree'. She described being approached by a young male at a Picabo, Idaho, gas station who was wearing a bandana that covered most of his face and appeared to position himself in a suspicious manner near her vehicle; two other young males accompanied the man in an '80s, Chevy, lowered champagne colored truck'.

The witness felt threatened to the point she readied her firearm on her hip in anticipation of a confrontation. Picabo is located 66 miles north of Twin Falls.

Idaho police were contacted regarding both incidents, according to witness statements.
