Army Vet Larsen to Enter Mental Health Court as Part of Sentencing

By Bradley Guire

An Army veteran accused of malicious harassment was sentenced on Monday to probation and mental health court.

John C. Larsen, 42, of Twin Falls, had a prison term of three to five years suspended. He will instead serve a four-year probation and participate in the 5th Judicial District Mental Health Court with a specialized treatment program tailored to his needs. Larsen has previously described himself as a 20-year veteran who was declared 100 percent disabled based on a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder.

He was accused of screaming at a Muslim woman, Amna Schultz, of Jerome, while both parties were shopping near the Twin Falls Walmart’s electronics department last December.
