John Tuggle, the man accused of stabbing his 12 year old daughter has been arrested after walking into a convenience store. He was discribed as dirty, and hungry. What's that chances they may let him skip a few more years before feeding this monster? Anyways the clerk at the store "thought something was suspicious and called law enforcement.
"...Tuggle offered no resistance when officers caught up with him and he was being held in the county jail on a warrant for attempted murder.
``He ate two full plates of food and is resting in solitary,'' Shoshone County Sheriff Chuck Reynalds said. ``He said he had not eaten in three days.''
Tuggle had been sought since July 20, when his daughter was stabbed repeatedly and left for dead on the side of a mountain road. She was found hours later by campers who heard her yell. The girl remained in serious condition Wednesday.
The sheriff praised Boren in helping nab Tuggle. The clerk said Tuggle was acting jittery, so she asked him some questions and offered him a hot dog - hoping to get a better look at his face after studying wanted posters.
``As soon as he walked out of the store, and I didn't see a vehicle, I thought I better give the sheriff's office a call,'' Boren said. ``They picked him up a couple blocks away.''
Tuggle apparently walked into Wallace, a community of about 1,000 people, from a remote area south of town where his car was found abandoned Sunday, the sheriff said.
An earlier report indicated that Tuggle had told his parents he wanted to live in that region, away from people.
``So much for living in the wilds of northern Idaho. Apparently he was not as proficient as he thought he was,'' the sheriff said.
Tuggle was released from jail last year after serving nine years in an Idaho prison for raping his 14-year-old sister-in-law. He had been staying with a brother in Colorado.
He had not seen his daughter since she was a toddler, but showed up last week at the home of his ex-wife in Idaho, and said he wanted to take the child shopping.
He was not under state supervision except for the requirement to register as a sex offender, which Colorado officials said he had done.
The girl's name has not been released. Her family released a statement Wednesday thanking law enforcement and the public.
``We have been struggling with why someone would commit such a violent act upon one of their own children or anyone else,'' the statement said.
