On Wednesday, January 27, I was a crime reporter for an afternoon.

JonRyheem Peoples, a Idaho State University football player who played up the road from Idaho Falls in Rigby, had been suspended indefinitely two days earlier for violating the athletic department’s code of conduct.

Naturally curious, I dug around hoping to discover why he was suspended. I ended up finding an online court record detailing a felony marijuana distribution charge against Peoples.

After confirming the charge with the Bannock County prosecutor, I wrote a story and published it online. Here is that story, which also appeared in Thursday’s Post Register.
