Following his arrest at a Spokane, Washington, airport on Friday, the former Idaho State Police trooper on trial for murdering his wife was back in court Monday morning in Kootenai County.

Testimony in the murder trial of Daniel Howard wrapped up for the week Thursday afternoon in Kootenai County, Idaho. Then on Friday evening cops arrested Howard at the Spokane International Airport, which is just on the other side of the Washington border with Idaho. As part of his bond, he is prohibited from being within 2 miles of an airport. But Howard’s defense attorney Jason Johnson said his client was not attempting to flee, but was following someone who was returning a rental car at the airport.

“There were no bags in the car, he had no tickets, he was not even in the airport itself,” Johnson said. “He was in the rental car parking lot.”

Johnson asked that the jury be polled on whether they heard about the arrest because of the extensive local media coverage, but the judge denied the request, saying he had already instructed them not to watch or read anything about the trial.

Howard was out on bond as he stood trial for the Feb. 2, 2021, death of his wife Kendy Howard. The disgraced cop allegedly killed his wife and left her body in a bathtub in an attempt to make it look like a suicide. Testimony has been going on for the last two weeks and the trial is expected to wrap up this week.
