Suspect in Nampa pursuit that killed police K-9 held on $1M bond

UPDATE (Sept, 23rd, 9:25 p.m.)
According to a Facebook post from the Nampa Police Department, Ketterman was also charged today with Idaho Code 18-7039, “killing and otherwise mistreating police dogs, police horses, search and rescue dogs and accelerant detection dogs.”

The Kuna woman accused of ramming a police car during a pursuit that killed a Nampa Police K-9 made her initial court appearance in Canyon County on Monday.

Police say Stephanie Ann Kettermann and Tanner Howe eluded officers who attempted a traffic stop Saturday night in Nampa, ultimately leaving one officer injured and a K-9 dead.

Ketermann appeared virtually for her initial court appearance Monday afternoon. She is now being held on $1 million bond with a preliminary hearing scheduled for October 1.

Kettermann is charged with several felonies for battery on law enforcement, eluding, trafficking meth, and possession of a Schedule 2 controlled substance. She’s also charged with misdemeanors for possession of psilocybin mushrooms, possession of a Schedule 4 controlled substance, and possession of paraphernalia.
