A Clarkston man faces an attempted murder charge for allegedly shooting another man in downtown Lewiston two years ago, leaving the victim paralyzed.
30-year-old Tyrone Paul is being held on $250,000 bail in the Nez Perce County Jail on the felony charge, as well as enhancements of being a persistent violator and for use of a weapon in the commission of a felony. Paul is accused of the May 2015 shooting of Gary Grogan at a Miller Grade apartment. Paul and several others were arrested at the time in connection to a shootout with authorities, but Paul was only held on a drug possession charge in Washington until the attempted murder count was assessed this past week in Lewiston’s 2nd District Court. He was sentenced to over a year-and-a-half on the drug charge.
The latest warrant was delayed until the conclusion of Paul’s prison term so he could face adjudication in Idaho. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 26th.
Paul has several felony convictions in Idaho, including attempting to remove a weapon from a law enforcement officer, and assault or battery to an officer, as well as a history of misdemeanors spanning back to September 2000. (Lewiston Tribune)
