When Craig Robert Falk brutally attacked a woman in her Hidden Springs driveway in December of 2019 with a club, investigators quickly figured out he did it for someone else.
That man is Falk’s brother — 60-year-old Roger Adrian Quinn — who is now being held in the Ada County Jail and charged with criminal solicitation to commit a crime in connection with the 2019 attack.
Deputies arrested Quinn Wednesday. He is being held in the jail on a $250,000 bond and is set to make his initial court appearance Thursday afternoon.
Quinn has been a suspect in the attack since 2019. Investigators set up a safety plan and have been in regular contact with the woman since then.
The case took on an urgency when deputies were called to a parking lot in the Eagle Road/Idaho 44 area on Aug. 17 to check out a report of an abandoned car.
Once they arrived, they found a man, later identified as Quinn, who appeared to be living inside the car. When deputies asked him what was going on, Quinn gave them a false name and wasn’t able to provide a birth date. He eventually produced a driver’s license with the correct information.
Deputies also found a wig, hair color spray paint, a large dagger, a bag of zip ties, rope, license plates for a different car, and a loaded gun inside the car.
Deputies continued to talk to Quinn and eventually arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of providing false information to police and booked him into the jail, where he was released after posting a $300 bond.
Detectives continued to work on the case and developed evidence Quinn lied to Falk in 2019 and encouraged him to attack the woman, paid for a plane ticket for Falk to get to Boise, and gave him information on where she would be.
Investigators passed on the information to Ada County prosecutors, who issued an arrest warrant for Quinn on Tuesday.
Deputies with the ACTION Team arrested Quinn during a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon.
Falk is serving a 20-year prison sentence on charges of aggravated battery, use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, and burglary for the 2019 attack.
If found guilty of criminal solicitation, Quinn could be sentenced up to 30 years in prison, which are the maximum penalties for those three felonies.
Additional charges against Quinn are possible as detectives continue to actively investigate the case.
