Enhanced penalties being sought in case

SANDPOINT — The state is seeking enhanced penalties against a North Idaho man implicated in a daytime home-invasion robbery attempt on the city’s southwest side last fall.

Randy Carl Eiland is charged with battery with intent to commit a serious felony, aggravated battery and burglary in connection with the Oct. 21, 2014, incident.

Bonner County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Shane Greenbank filed amended charging documents that add a persistent violator enhancement because Eiland has three prior felony convictions, including one for first-degree murder.
