🌱 Wanted Dangerous Man + Evictions Rise + Football Color Calendar

Hi all. I'm back with your fresh edition of the Boise Daily. Here are all the things you need to know about what's happening in the community today.

We recently asked our Boise Daily readers for their views on the recent Western Idaho Fair. Boise Daily reader Kevin and his wife let us know the couple enjoyed their time at the fair with a special shoutout to the Pat Benatar concert. Kevin did request the fair consider a move to September as this year was "way hot!"

Welcome to the final August edition of the Boise Daily. We typically do not carry two crime stories, but today, law enforcement is asking for your help with both a dangerous, armed suspect wanted for attempted murder, and a Boise physician has been arrested for sexual battery. More Boise residents are receiving eviction notices and more pets are up for adoption. Finally, we help you not be embarrassed by wearing the incorrect clothing to this season's Bronco football games.

First, today's weather:

Sunshine and very hot. High: 104 Low: 67.

Here are the top stories today in Boise:

1. The Boise County Sheriff's Office is asking the public's assistance in finding a male last seen in Idaho City and wanted for 1st degree attempted murder.

2. Staying with law enforcement asking for help, an Eagle orthopedic surgeon who practices in Boise was arrested by Boise Police, accused of inappropriately touching "multiple" people at his clinic. Detectives are reaching out to determine if additional victims not yet known. KTVB-TV staff report Dr. Stanley Waters, 68, was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of misdemeanor sexual battery. Waters opened Americana Orthopeadics in 2002, a clinic located on Americana Boulevard. "Investigators believe there may be additional victims and ask anyone with information to contact the Ada County Dispatch non-emergency number at 208-377-6790 or contact Crime Stoppers at 208-343-COPS (208-343-2677)."

3. According to a recent article by Boise State Public Radio's Troy Oppie, more of your neighbors have received an eviction notice. Federal money for rental assistance runs out in 2023 and a local nonprofit, Jesse Tree, expects eviction filings to increase substantially. (Boise State Public Radio)
4. A Jack Russell terrier and a hound dog are just two dogs looking for their next home. Boise Patch offers these two guys and others, along with some felines thrown in, for Boise Daily followers to reach out and call their own. (Boise Patch)
5. You are heading to a home game at Boise State University, open the closet and cannot recall the color scheme to wear. Is it a blue and orange game, a black game, an only orange game? LITE-FM's Nate Bird helps you out with a calendar of colors for every home game this season. You do have some time as the Broncos don't come back to the blue until Sept. 17 to host UT Martin.
