Tribes plan security upgrades at truck stop after attack
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes say they’ll improve security at an Idaho truck stop where a trucker from Missouri was beaten by an unknown attacker who pried open the locked door of the trucker’s cab as he slept.
The Idaho State Journal reports the tribes will work to improve lighting, surveillance equipment and security.
Amos Phillips of Camdenton, Missouri, was sleeping inside his cab at a Fort Hall, Idaho, truck stop on Sept. 2. Someone broke in, demanded money and beat Phillips with rocks in his fists.
Phillips suffered a broken nose, broken cheekbones and a blood clot on his brain.
Fort Hall Police Chief Pat Teton says police found a baseball cap that’s been sent to the Idaho State Lab for testing.
