The following is a news release and mugshot from the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office.
The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in locating an inmate who failed to return to the jail from work release.
Maranda Janet King, 30, left the Bonneville County Jail for work the morning of Saturday, Dec. 17. She was due to return after her shift that evening.
After King didn’t show and after several failed attempts at contacting her, deputies notified area Law Enforcement and began searching for her. King’s employers advised deputies that she did not show up for work that day.
King has been in custody at the Bonneville County Jail since the end of November. She was allowed by court order and as part of her sentencing to participate in the Work Release Program to maintain employment. Deputies are currently in the process of seeking new charges against King for felony escape related to her failure to return to the jail.
King is a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 5’ 2” tall, and 153 lbs. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of King is asked to contact Bonneville County Dispatch immediately at (208) 529-1200.
