Good morning, Idaho Falls.

Aaron Capello and his wife Ashley opened The Fence Shop last June at 3166 North Lockheed Circle in Idaho Falls in a 4,000-square-foot building on a 1-acre lot, supplying materials for DIY fence projects as budgets tighten.

Capello, a former wholesale sales rep, said increased DIY traffic and an award for Idaho’s Best in the building supply category highlight his shop's focus on quality service — a foundation for future expansion into decking and railing products.

Two Montanans were arrested after an Idaho Falls officer stopped a Jeep on Interstate 15 near 45th Road West on July 11 when a K9 detected narcotics—police later found 25 pounds of meth and charged 50-year-old Diane Elizabeth Walters with felony trafficking and 39-year-old Cody Allen Davidson with multiple drug offenses, and both face a mandatory minimum of 10 years to life if convicted.
