Idaho Suspect in Stabbing Killed in Car Crash

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho Falls man suspected in a weekend stabbing has died in a car crash on U.S. Highway 26 near Ririe.

The Idaho State Police says 23-year-old Tay W. Misseldine was eastbound at about 3 a.m. Monday when he drifted off the road and overcorrected before hitting a sign and a fence and rolling down an embankment.

The ISP says Misseldine was not wearing a seat belt and died at the scene. As troopers investigated the crash, they learned Misseldine was the suspect in a stabbing in Idaho Falls on Sunday evening.

He had led police and Bonneville County deputies on a short pursuit. Officers said they ended the chase because they knew who was driving. No information about the stabbing victim was immediately released.
