In most cases, a crime that took place in Teton County, Idaho, must be reported to the Teton County Sheriff’s Office (“TCSO”). The prosecutor cannot take a crime report for legal reasons. To make a non-emergency report of a crime, call TCSO at 208-776-8200 or file a report in person at the Law Enforcement Center at 230 N. Main Street, Driggs, Idaho 83422. If you are in imminent danger or witnessing a crime in real time, call 911.
Victims do not have the authority to “press” criminal charges. Crimes are charged by the Teton County Office of the Prosecuting Attorney on behalf of the State of Idaho, not on behalf of any individual victim. The decision to file or dismiss charges can only be made by the Prosecuting Attorney or a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. A victim’s wishes will be considered, but this is only one factor of many that must be considered.

Ms. Bailey Smith is the Teton County Prosecuting Attorney and her name appears on almost all court documents filed by our office. If your case is a felony criminal matter, it is possible that Ms. Smith is personally handling your case. However, if you have a misdemeanor criminal case, it is likely being handled by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Richard Friess. If you are unsure who is handling your case, the Prosecuting Attorney who has signed the documents in your case is the one you should contact. However, please note that if you are represented by an attorney, the prosecuting attorney cannot speak with you directly.
No. All attorneys are governed by a code of ethics that prevents them from speaking directly to anyone who has an attorney. As long as you are represented by an attorney, we may speak only to your attorney. Any questions that you have about your case should be answered by your attorney.
