Pullman Apartment Building Arson Suspect Placed On $250K Bond-PPD Believes Man Shot Firework From Mortar Tube Inside His Unit To Light Blaze

October 7, 2025 Evan Ellis News

Investigators believe that a firework shot from a mortar inside the suspect’s apartment started Sunday’s blaze on Pullman’s Military Hill.

According to court documents Pullman Police believe that 40 year old Elijah Reagan fired the mortar inside his apartment to start the building on fire. The firework went through the ceiling and quickly sparked a blaze that damaged six apartments in the building on Larry Street. Investigators also found a TNT dynamite blasting machine plunger box inside Reagan’s apartment.

The court documents show that Reagan called his estranged wife and reportedly told her that he just blew up his apartment because there were bad people after him. She told police that Reagan uses m**hamphetamine. Officers say that Reagan was smoking m**h while he was in an armed standoff with local law enforcement South of Uniontown Sunday night. He eventually surrendered after he accidentally fired a shotgun from his vehicle. Court documents show that Reagan was suicidal and high on m**h when he was taken into custody. He was arrested in Idaho and taken to the jail in Lewiston before being extradited to the jail in Colfax. The standoff occurred after Reagan allegedly led Pullman Police on high speed car chase that began on the West edge of town. The chase ended when a Washington State Patrol Trooper spiked his tires outside Uniontown on U.S. Highway 195. Pullman Police reportedly found lighter fluid, bottle rockets and fire logs inside his vehicle.

Court documents also reveal that up to 30 people were evacuated from the large apartment building. An elderly person with a walker needed help from several people to escape the flames. The apartment building that caught fire contains 18 units. Those residents can’t return to their homes until the on scene investigation is complete. The Red Cross has set up a shelter for those residents at Pullman City Hall.

Reagan made his first appearance in Whitman County Superior Court on Tuesday. He faces felony 1st degree arson and eluding charges. Judge Roger Sandberg agreed with the prosecutor and placed Reagan on quarter million dollars bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned this Friday.

October 6, 2025 Evan Ellis News

The on scene criminal investigation at Sunday’s large apartment complex blaze on Pullman’s Military Hill is expected to continue for another day.

Pullman Police are leading the investigation. Chief Aaron Breshears says federal law enforcement has offered to help.

Reagan is in the jail in Lewiston awaiting extradition to the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office jail in Colfax to face an expected arson charge. Chief Breshears says the car chase before the standoff ran from the Pullman area on Whitman County rural roads down to Colton and onto the highway.

The occupants in the burned building are unable to return to their homes until both the police and fire department investigations are complete.

Local Disease Outbreak In Deer Hitting Deary Area Hardest

October 6, 2025 Evan Ellis News

Deer in the Deary area are being hardest hit by this fall’s local outbreak of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease.

Idaho Fish and Game reports that EHD is not a threat to humans or livestock. This fall’s outbreak is similar in severity to the 2021 outbreak that occurred in lower elevations. As of Monday, biologist have received ongoing reports of just under a thousand white-tailed deer mortalities in the Clearwater Region suspected to be caused by EHD. Most of the reports have come from the Deary area.

IDFG is not recommending any changes to the current deer seasons. The agency says that the Clearwater Region deer population remains strong. Hunters need to be aware that they may encounter fewer deer than in past years.

EHD is a naturally occurring viral disease that effects deer and is transmitted through bites from no-seeums. Outbreaks normally occur in the late summer and early fall.
