ORIGINAL STORY

ST. ANTHONY — The Idaho Falls Police Department says a 33-year-old man who law enforcement in Fremont County has been searching for has been spotted in Idaho Falls. He is believed to have been involved in an attempted carjacking and theft of a firearm Friday afternoon.

IFPD spokeswoman Jessica Clements said that Kevin Nicholas Kuintzle was last seen at the Walmart on South Utah Avenue.

Kuintzle is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, a news release from the police department said.

He was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, khaki pants and possibly a black coat. He has a shaved head and a red beard, police said. He is 5’11”, 180 pounds and has blue eyes.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office and Idaho Department of Correction posted about him on social media earlier on Friday. Law enforcement said Kuintzle walked away from the St. Anthony Work Camp. He was at the camp around 8 p.m. on Thursday.  

“We have reason to believe he is driving a silver and green single cab 1995 Dodge pickup with missing paint,” the sheriff’s office posted. 

Contact law enforcement immediately or call 911 if you see him.

Kuintzle has a pending first-degree murder case in Jerome County, the Idaho Department of Correction said. His criminal record includes convictions for grand theft in Ada County and operating a vehicle without owner’s consent in Canyon County. The department said he was eligible for parole on April 18, 2022. His sentence was scheduled to be satisfied on Jan. 4, 2030.
