Robbery in Post Falls leaves victim beaten
On May 18, at approximately 3:30 p.m., the Post Falls Police Department responded to a report of suspicious circumstances in the 2200 block of Lady Anne Way in Post Falls. A female called to report that her neighbor had come to her house at approximately 8 a.m. to use her telephone to call a relative; her neighbor came in covered in blood, bleeding from the head.
During the phone conversation, the female caller overheard the telephone conversation of the male reporting to the relative that he had been severely beaten and robbed by two males and a female, he relayed information that his vehicle was also stolen during the incident. When the female asked the male to contact the police, he told her that he could not contact the police...
When officers arrived at the home, they found the victim’s home ransacked and the victim covered in blood; he refused medical attention at the scene...
...the female who had given him a ride home attacked him along with the two males. Authorities believe that the males followed the victim and the female back to the Post Falls home. The victim received several blows to the head and lost consciousness. When he woke up he was bound with tape and zip ties. One of the males held a shotgun, and told the victim that he would be killed if he attempted to move. The suspects proceeded to ransack his home, taking his wallet, money, and credit cards. They forced the victim, at gunpoint, to give up his bank personal identification number. Once he provided this number, the female suspect left the residence and went to a local bank to withdraw money from the victim’s account. The male suspects remained at the residence for her to return. The suspects then stole his vehicle and left the scene.
Later in the evening, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department located the vehicle in the Spokane area and arrested both males after a vehicle pursuit. They are currently in custody at the Spokane County Jail. The suspects have been identified as Donald W. Brown, 26, of Spokane, WA, and Steven L. Murphy, 25, of Spokane, WA. Both men have lengthy criminal records.
The Post Falls Police Department is working to identify the female suspect and describe her as a white female, between the ages of 28 and 32, with dark shoulder length hair, medium build. Authorities believe her first mane maybe Debra and goes by the street name of “Angel”.
