Two Men Sentenced to Probation for Separate Interstate Shooting Incidents in Idaho, Kansas

Two separate cases involved men who fired multiple rounds at vehicles on interstate highways in 2024, both resulting in probation sentences rather than prison time. Wyatt Armstrong, 23, from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, fired over 40 rounds along Interstate 90 while intoxicated but caused no injuries; he received a five-year suspended prison sentence and three years of supervised probation with community service. Prosecutors noted the unusual nature of the case and that a jury could have acquitted him, while his attorney cited a mental health crisis during the incident. In Kansas, 20-year-old Kamil Lweno was sentenced to 24 months of probation after pleading guilty to criminal discharge of a firearm for shooting at vehicles on Interstate 235, which resulted in property damage but no injuries. Both cases demonstrate judicial decisions favoring probation and suspended sentences despite the serious nature of shooting at occupied vehicles on interstate highways. Authorities emphasized no injuries occurred in either incident, and probation violations could lead to incarceration.
