Popeye Update: Concerns About Animal Welfare in Latah County

Update on Popeye, the Horse Owned by a Latah County Deputy

Since our original post in August 2025, Popeye, the horse owned by a Latah County Sheriff’s Deputy and his wife, has been moved to another nearby property. The owners have not shared a reason for the move.

Community members who recognize Popeye have continued to check on him and share updates about his condition. After our first post and the Sheriff’s Office response, we received multiple messages from concerned residents and individuals identifying themselves as Latah County employees.
