Other man in Sunday incident identified

COEUR d’ALENE — Police identified Tom M. Helton, 49, of Coeur d’Alene, as the man who shot out an Athol man’s car tire Sunday during a dispute near Red Lobster.

The Press reported this morning that 45-year-old Keith W. Williams was arrested for aggravated assault following the incident.

The two men had a dispute that began months ago and they crossed paths Sunday as they were both traveling northbound on U.S. 95 and were stopped at a red light at Neider Avenue.

Police said Williams, who was in a car, first spotted Helton, who was on a motorcycle, and called out to him.

Police said Williams got out of his car and punched Helton. Then, Williams got back into his car and allegedly drove at Helton before Helton pulled out a handgun and shot out a tire on Williams’ car, police said.
