Bannock County Sheriff’s Office deputies were requested to assist during the investigation at Denny’s. The deputies responded to the restaurant, identified Midthun and searched her person, locating a Ruger LC9S on her waist that was loaded and had a round chambered, police said.

Midthun appeared in front of 6th District Judge Lynn Brower for an arraignment hearing on Tuesday, during which her bond was set at $10,000 on the felony grand theft charge and $10,000 for both the unlawful possession of a firearm and felony drug possession charges. Midthun posted the bonds that same day and was released from jail.
