A Coeur d’Alene sex offender accused of assaulting and trying to kidnap a woman he worked with last fall may plead guilty next week. Jason A. Edwards, 45, who worked at the Coeur d’Alene Press, had pleaded not guilty to attempted first-degree kidnapping, battery with intent to commit a serious felony and aggravated assault in the Nov. 1 incident outside the newspaper’s downtown office. On Monday, Edwards’ attorney asked a judge to schedule a change-of-plea hearing in the case. That hearing is set for Monday morning/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
