Two Idaho football players plead not guilty to petty theft charges

Two Idaho football players pled not guilty to a count of misdemeanor theft Wednesday morning in the Latah County 2nd District Court.

Junior linebacker Christian Elliss, 21, and sophomore tight end Dalton Cash, 20, were cited March 18 after allegedly attempting to steal $133 in food from Walmart on West Pullman Road in Moscow.

Both players were appointed public defenders by Judge Megan Marshall, who presided over Wednesday’s 8:30 a.m. arraignment. Elliss will be represented by D. Ray Barker, and Cash by Deborah McCormick.

Idaho Head Coach Paul Petrino has suspended the two from the first game of the 2019 season against the Penn State Nittany Lions Aug.
