ATHOL — A Bonner County pair have been sentenced after they were arrested this spring on two counts each of injury to a child after Bonner County Sheriff’s deputies say they discovered two children were living in an RV filled with rotting garbage and human feces.
Deputies were attempting to check on the well-being of the children of Paula Halseth and her partner, Shayden Farris, as well as a grandmother who also lived at the residence.
One of Halseth’s charges has been dropped due to a plea agreement, while the other ended as a misdemeanor charge. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail, but 168 days were suspended, and only 12 days were served.
