MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho sheriff’s office has released body-worn camera footage showing Bryan Kohberger during a traffic stop that occurred months before he killed four University of Idaho students in 2022.

The video was released by the Latah County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday. The video shows an August 2022 traffic stop when Deputy Darren Duke pulled Kohberger over for speeding on a highway that runs between Moscow, Idaho, and Pullman, Washington. Kohberger is driving the same white Hyundai Elantra that police say he drove on Nov. 13, 2022, when he killed Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves in a rental home near the University of Idaho campus.

The deputy ticketed Kohberger for not wearing a seat belt before sending him on his way.

Some of the law enforcement agencies that worked on the murder case have announced that they will release documents related to the investigation now that Kohberger has been sentenced to life in prison.

(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a release from AAA East Central, hotweather and additional travel miles during road trip season in America can put a strain on vehicle components, especially car batteries.

According to that same release from AAA East Central:

  • Using state-of-the-art technology, the battery is tested within just a few minutes

Beaver County District Attorney Clarifies Purpose of Ambridge Police Operation on Thursday Night

(Beaver, Pa.) Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible sent out a press release Friday afternoon clarifying the purpose of the police operation that occurred in Ambridge on Thursday night, July 31, 2025.

The release reads as follows:

On July 31, 2025, the Ambridge Police Department, in partnership with the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office, Beaver County Detectives Bureau, Beaver County Probation Office, and Beaver County Drug Task Force conducted a saturation operation in Ambridge Borough. The purpose of the operation was to round up any individuals with outstanding warrants, in addition to policing any general criminal activity. 

While federal agents from ICE were present, this was in no way an “ICE Raid.” Federal agents were operating independently of the local agencies. The Beaver County Agencies and Ambridge PD were conducting legal traffic stops, making arrests on individuals committing crimes, and apprehending individuals with outstanding warrants. These men and women were doing their jobs and trying to keep our community safe. 

Once an individual is arrested, the local authorities have no control over what an outside federal agency does with regard to the immigration status of the arrestee. Some individuals were detained by ICE, however these individuals had committed an underlying crime or traffic infraction, which then triggered the ICE detainer. It should be noted that no residences or businesses were raided. Only those who broke the law or had warrants were detained.
