Now That's a Japanese Maple

Now That's a Japanese Maple

That's not a pile of leaves. Surely there are leaf piles in the world that are this big, but this is not it. It's actually a tree. It belongs to the Lowry residence in Lewiston.

Kris Crocker, KXLY meteorologist, shared this with the KXLY Facebook. She stated that it is not Mr. Snuffleupagus, even though it had some of us fooled.

"It's Julane Lowry's Japanese Maple! I've never seen one quite so huge. Julane, who lives in Lewiston, Idaho, says her mother purchased the tree 41 years ago when it was a twig."

Share: Do you have tree or shrub you're rather proud of in your yard?

Juvenile Escapee Wanted

Juvenile Escapee Wanted

If you see a teenager running down the street with no shoes and his hands cuffed in front of his body, the Lewiston Police Department wants to hear from you. Though, it's likely the escaped offender has changed his clothes and put some shoes on by now.

A 17-year old offender named Dustin Williams ran away from the Juvenile Corrections Center after a dentist appointment Tuesday afternoon. He was last seen running through a nearby field, wearing his state-issued gray sweatshirt and blue jeans and the handcuffs meant to keep him under control.

Williams is about 6' tall, 160 pounds. He has short brown hair and the word "LOCO" tattooed across the knuckles of his left hand. He also has the numbers 1 and 3 burned into the back of each hand.

After trading in two 2005 Dodge Durangos, they were leased three 2008 Ford Explorers, one 2008 Dodge Charger and one 2009 Dodge Charger. The vehicles are then equipped with $6,000 worth of law enforcement equipment like lights and sirens.
