On June 13th, 2016 at approximately 7:45pm, Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were dispatched to Brome St. to a report that a 54 year old female had been attacked and was now locked in the bathroom of her residence. As Deputies arrived on scene it was discovered the suspect, Devan A. Sanford had left the area. Deputies located the female victim who advised that Sanford was at her residence visiting the children when an argument ensued. During this time the victim attempted to call 911 but Sanford took the phone away and put her in a choke hold. The victim was able to get away from Sanford and lock herself and the children in a bathroom until Deputies arrived. Deputies were able to make contact with Sanford in Idaho Falls a short time later and he was arrested for Aggravated Battery and Preventing a 911 Call. Sanford was booked in to the Bonneville County Jail. The victim had visible injuries but refused medical treatment at the scene.
