He holds a University Bachelors Degree in Public Administration and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy.

A 33-year-old woman pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony Tuesday at U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene.

Twyla Basil said, in a plea agreement, that she acted as a lookout for people who went into a home and stole guns.

The case was investigated by the FBI because the crime occurred on tribal land and both Basil and the victim are part of the Kootenai Tribe.

The charge carries a maximum punishment of a $250,000 fine and up to three years in prison.  Basil could also face one year of supervised release after any jail time.

Basil's sentencing is scheduled for January 31st at the federal courthouse in Coeur d'Alene.
