SAMUELS — Bonner County Sheriff’s Office officials announced the arrest of Samuel Siver, the man who reportedly fired shots at law enforcement responding to an alleged domestic violence incident, before fleeing into Bonner County.

Siver, 50, was arrested at 11:48 a.m. in Hope on an active warrant out of Boundary County. 

Boundary County Sheriff Travis Stolley said deputies responded to the alleged incident on Green Pasture Road in Naples, which was reported at approximately 2:23 a.m. Wednesday, when shots were fired at law enforcement.  

Boundary County officials said Siver fled from the residence and across county lines and was actively pursued by Bonner County law enforcement, first in the Samuels area and then in Hope, where he was arrested. 

State and local law enforcement aided in the arrest. 

“No injuries were reported to any individuals, and all family members involved have been confirmed safe and are receiving support,” BCSO Sheriff Travis Stolley said in a press release.
