Newspaper photo coincidence leads to robbery suspect

A front-page photo in yesterday’s Lewiston Tribune has landed a Clarkston man in jail.

According to Clarkston police, a Lewiston Tribune employee alerted police about 3 a.m. this morning that the person featured in a front-page photo in yesterday’s newspaper matched another front-page photo of a man suspected of stealing a wallet.



Police Chief Joel Hastings said a Clarkston officer obtained a copy of today’s paper, and saw a photo of a sign painter, Michael Millhouse, which was similar to the photo of the suspect.

Millhouse was charged with second-degree theft, a felony, and is scheduled for a hearing on Monday.
