The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) announced Friday that two arrests were made in connection with a shooting that occurred just before 11 p.m. on November 13 in the 200 block of N. Contor Avenue. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire, and investigators later found bullet holes in a residence, as well as damage to a motorcycle and a nearby vehicle.
Arrest of 19‑year‑old suspect
While responding to a burglary in progress on North Adam Drive, deputies encountered 19‑year‑old Stratton Daniel Bair attempting to enter a home. A handgun and a THC vape device were recovered from him at the scene. Bair initially gave conflicting statements about his presence and denied firing the weapon, but later admitted to discharging the firearm into the air.
A search warrant on Bair’s car uncovered ammunition that matched the handgun, a holster that fit the weapon, and additional drug paraphernalia. During the arrest, Bair became agitated and reportedly offered $1,000 for his release. After admitting to the bribery attempt, he allegedly made death threats toward the deputies.
Bair was booked into the Bonneville County Jail and faces several charges, including unlawful discharging of a firearm at a dwelling (felony), attempted bribery (felony), possession of a firearm while under the influence (misdemeanor), attempted unlawful entry (misdemeanor), and possession of marijuana (misdemeanor).
Detention of 21‑year‑old suspect
In a separate incident nearby, 21‑year‑old Jaiden M. Dominguez was detained after officers found him walking around “intoxicated and emotional.” He was booked on a charge of pedestrian under the influence.
Investigation ongoing
BCSO officials have not yet linked either suspect to the victims at the Contor Avenue residence, nor have they identified a motive for the shooting. The department emphasized that the investigation remains active and that additional information may be released as it becomes available.
Residents are encouraged to report any further details related to the incident. The sheriff’s office continues to work with local law‑enforcement partners to ensure public safety and to bring all responsible parties to justice.
