🚨⚠️Back to School ⚠️🚨

Schools in our area begin session TOMORROW morning. This is your friendly reminder that ALL school zones are a strict 20 MPH to help ensure the safety of our community and its youth.

Please be on the look out for pedestrians and bicycles and be patient, especially in school zones.

Be aware, there are new state rules and penalties, where exceeding a school zone speed limit by 20 mph or more when children are present and visible elevates a standing speeding infraction to a misdemeanor Reckless Driving.

Please help us keep our community and our youth safe! 🚔

Is it scorching hot outside but our mind is on Christmas? 🎄 YUP! To us, Christmas 911 is a year round thought and effort to fundraise, prepare and plan for the upcoming season.

Christmas 911 is our favorite time of the year and the biggest honor to be able to give to the youth in our community. We can only make this possible with funds raised and donations.

We have a fun and amazing fundraiser with 18 holes of golf as a two man scramble planned for August 29th. Don’t golf? Come out and hang out, have lunch and check out silent auctions or just come show support!

If you would like to sign up, please contact us or sign up at the golf course. If you would like to donate (thank you!!) please let us know and we will arrange a pick up! ⛳️

Thank you all for your endless and continuous support for allowing us to carry this program on for over 15 years and giving Christmas to approximately 75 kiddos in our community every year 💙🎁🎄

This sweet dog would love to find its way back home! If you have any information, please call 208-476-5551.

On July 7, 2026, at approximately 3:04 pm Orofino Police Department attempted to initiate a traffic stop at mile marker 43 on Hwy 12 on a Ford Explorer bearing Montana license plates. The vehicle continued to travel west bound on Hwy 12 and eventually stopped near Haye’s Food in Orofino.

The officer on scene then made contact with the driver, Jesse Huntsman, of Montana. The officer on scene was attempting to contact an agency in Montana regarding Huntsman driving suspension and probationary status, while another officer arrived on scene and deployed the canine to do an open-air sniff of the vehicle.

As an officer attempted to approach the vehicle again in an attempt to detain Huntsman, Huntsman then placed his vehicle into drive and fled from the officers on scene. Officers then pursued the fleeing vehicle, which reached speeds of approximately 90mph in the 50mph zone. While coming to the area of 138th St and Hwy 12, officers observed a loaded log truck attempt to merge onto Hwy 12. Huntsman then attempted to pass the log truck on the right side, which resulted in him striking the guardrail with his vehicle which then rolled.

Officers then approached the vehicle and witnessed Huntsman exiting the vehicle where the windshield was prior. Officers placed Huntsman in handcuffs and had him medically cleared, before placing him under arrest and charging him with Eluding (felony) (I.C. 49-1404), Driving Without Privileges (out of state suspension) (I.C. 18-8001), and Reckless Driving (I.C. 49-1401(1). An infraction citation has also been completed for speed - excess posted speed limit (1-15 over) (I.C. 49-654) and fail to provide current proof of insurance (I.C. 49-1232).

Huntsman is currently being held at the Clearwater County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
