ELMORE COUNTY — Officials are asking the public to contact authorities with any information tied to an investigation into alleged child sex crimes that occurred within Elmore County and the City of Mountain Home.
The Elmore County Sheriff's Office released that on June 10, an arrest warrant was issued for Dillion Thorpe, following an ECSO investigation into allegations of sexual offenses. Officials say on June 11, Thorpe was taken into custody on that warrant by the Idaho State Police.
