SANDPOINT - A Kootenai man described as a minor player in a home-invasion robbery and shooting was given a suspended prison term on Tuesday.

Jonathan Lee Comstock was given a suspended two- to five-year term and placed on probation for three years. He was also fined $5,000 and ordered to submit to random drug testing for the first year of his probation, according to court documents.

Comstock, 22, was charged with being an after-the-fact accessory in the March 10 attack on a 57-year-old Elmira man. Comstock drove two other men to the home, apparently unaware that a robbery was in the works.

The robbery victim was bound, gagged, blindfolded and splashed with gasoline. Joseph Vencil Kluck Jr. is accused of ordering Joseph Eugene Cleveland to kill the man after the heist.

From outside the home, Cleveland admitted firing a gunshot through a window and grazing the man's face.

Cleveland, 19, pleaded to attempted murder and was ordered last month to serve a five- to 15-year term in prison.

Kluck, 22, is charged with attempted murder, robbery, second-degree kidnapping, unlawful possession of a firearm and using a firearm during the commission of a felony. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, although a change-of-plea hearing is set for June 16, according to court records.

Bonner County Prosecutor Louis Marshall said Comstock did not belong with the crew he was running with at the time of the robbery and was a passive participant.

"I don't think he truly understood what was transpiring when he drove up to Elmira Road that night," Marshall said at Comstock's sentencing.

Comstock's counsel, public defender Margaret Williams, said her client is remorseful and cooperated with investigators.

"My client learned a valuable lesson," Williams added.

Comstock apologized and said he regretted his involvement.

"I didn't have a sense of what was going on," Comstock said.

First District Judge Barbara Buchanan said it was an extremely serious offense, but was willing to grant Comstock an opportunity on probation because of a lack of a significant prior criminal record.

"This is the time to turn your life around," Buchanan said.
