WALLACE - A Hayden man pleaded guilty on Wednesday for three offenses he committed less than 24 hours earlier.

Nathan A. Peyer, 24, will spend the next 30 days at the Shoshone County Jail for assaulting an officer, being an intoxicated pedestrian, and obstructing and resisting an officer.

The incident began around 2:40 a.m. during Cpl. Darius Dustin discovered Peyer lying in the street, said Capt. Jeremy Groves.

Dustin found Peyer to be "highly intoxicated" and repeatedly falling over during their encounter, Groves said.

When Dustin tried to arrest Peyer for being a pedestrian under the influence, Peyer ran, then fought with the officer, as well a second officer who had arrived at the scene.

Groves said Peyer was brought under control and booked into jail.

Shoshone County Prosecuting Attorney Val Siegel said Peyer admitted guilt to all three charges at the initial appearance in court that same afternoon.

Magistrate Judge Daniel J. McGee imposed Peyer to one year in jail, with 235 days of the sentence suspended.

Peyer was also ordered by McGee to pay a $2,000 fine.

If Peyer successfully completes a drug and alcohol evaluation and follows through all recommended treatment and counseling, Siegel said the court will cut Peyer's fine in half..
