Former Lewiston state representative Aaron von Ehlinger is back in Idaho after his extradition from Georgia on felony charges of rape, according to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office.
Spokesman Patrick Orr said that once security clearances between the court systems of the two states were worked out, deputies from the sheriff’s office flew to Clayton County south of Atlanta on Thursday. They picked up von Ehlinger, 39, from the county jail this morning and flew him back to Boise. Once there, he was arrested on a book-and-release warrant, meaning he was processed at the county jail, given a court date and released.
Ada County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson Emily Lowe said she was not yet aware of when von Ehlinger will make his initial appearance before a judge.
