Just a friendly reminder,

We know many of our local organizations, businesses, churches, sports teams, and community groups use signs to help spread the word about upcoming events. We appreciate everything you do to make our community active.

When you're putting up signs, please remember that Rupert City Ordinance 8-2-14 prohibits attaching signs, posters, advertisements, or similar materials to utility poles, light poles, telephone poles, fire hydrants, trees, and other fixtures located in public rights-of-way. Temporary signs like the two at the base of the telephone pole in the photo are acceptable.

Also, if you're advertising an event, please remember to remove any temporary signs within 48 hours after the event has ended.

Taking down old signs helps keep Rupert looking clean, welcoming, and well cared for. It also prevents outdated information from cluttering our streets and neighborhoods.

Thank you for helping us take pride in our community and for doing your part to keep Rupert looking its best. We appreciate all that our residents, businesses, and community groups do to make Rupert a great place to call home.

Vehicle Pursuit Ends in Multi-Vehicle Crash in Rupert
On May 28, 2026, at approximately 5:00 a.m., a City of Heyburn police officer initiated a traffic stop on a white Ford pickup that was operating without functioning taillights. During the course of the investigation, the officer discovered the driver, a juvenile male, was not authorized to operate a vehicle and the vehicle was later discovered to be stolen.
When the officer attempted to have the driver exit the vehicle, the juvenile fled the scene, and a pursuit was initiated northbound on Highway 24.
The pursuit continued north until a Minidoka County Sheriff’s deputy successfully deployed spike strips approximately one-quarter mile south of the Rupert city limits. Although the spike strips disabled the vehicle, it continued into Rupert, where it struck two vehicles before crashing into the corner of a building located at 700 South Oneida Avenue.
The drivers of the two vehicle were examined my medical personnel on scene. One was transported to Minidoka Memorial Hospital. The driver of the Ford Pickup was transported to Pocatello by Classic Air helicopter medical and later released.
He was arrested by Heyburn Police and charged with Eluding and Grand Theft.
Due to the size of the crash scene, the number of vehicles involved, and reported injuries, an Idaho State Police trooper trained in crash reconstruction responded to assist with the investigation.
Portions of South Oneida Avenue were temporarily closed during the investigation. The roadway has since reopened, and normal traffic has resumed.
The incident remains under investigation.
The Rupert Police Department, Minidoka County Sheriff’s Office, and Heyburn Police Department would like to thank the Rupert Fire Department, Minidoka Memorial Hospital, Classic Air and Idaho State Police for their assistance during this incident.
