Bingham County man investigated for murder of his father
SHELLEY, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - UPDATE: Kayden Ford appeared for arraignment in Bingham County Magistrate Court Friday. He is being held on $100,000 bond on a charge of First Degree Murder.
He will appear for his preliminary hearing April 2, which will determine if he should be bound to District Court for trial.
ORIGINAL STORY: A Bingham County man is under investigation for the murder of his father.
The Bingham County Sheriff's Office said Kayden Ford, 23, was struck by a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Andrea Jolley. It happened at 1200 North and 900 East in Shelley at 7:17 a.m.
Deputies said it appeared Ford had run into the road and wanted to be hit by the vehicle. He was transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Ford's family was notified, and they went to locate his father. When they arrived, they found Joshua Ford, 48, dead and covered by a blanket. His cause of death appeared to be more than one stab wound.
At this time, Sheriff Craig Rowland said the case is being treated as a homicide and Ford is being held at the Bingham County Jail. An autopsy is scheduled later this week.
