According to reporting from Sho-Ban News, Tindore was allegedly involved in a violent dismemberment.

On April 4, around 6:51 a.m., the FHPD received a call about a man whose hand had been cut off at a home in Fort Hall, the Sho-Ban News reports.

When officers arrived, witnesses said Tindore came to the home with a machete, assaulted the witnesses, then went into a bedroom and assaulted a man with the machete before running out of the house.

The victim was transported to a local hospital and treated for injuries, and his status is unknown at this time.

A cash reward is being offered for information on Tindore’s whereabouts that leads to an arrest. Those with knowledge are asked to contact the FHPD at (208) 238-4000, local law enforcement, or call 911.
