A man was knocked unconscious and robbed late Friday night on the Centennial Trail in Coeur d'Alene.

Around 10:45, 59-year-old David Dill was walking along the trail near Atlas Road when a man came up behind him on a bicycle and struck him on the head.

That man took Dill's money while he was unconscious.

Dill says he was knocked out for about 20 minutes before he was able to call 911. He was taken to Kootenai Medical Center with minor injuries.

Several deputies searched the Centennial Trail and surrounding areas, but were unable to locate a suspect.

The Kootenai County Sheriff' Office is still investigating this attack. They are also asking citizens to remain vigilant when using trails and to report any suspicious activity.

Two local students have been selected to participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Children's Congress this summer. 150 kids with Type 1 diabetes will be sharing their stories with Congress, asking them to continue support of research for a cure.

“I think we are close to a cure! My family and I are doing our part for a cure, but we can't do it alone,” wrote 10 year old Carson Magee in his letter to Congress. “We need your help Congress! Please support diabetes research issues and renew the Special Diabetes Program for me, my brother, and all my friends with T1D and other autoimmune diseases.”

Carson was diagnosed with T1D at the age of seven, when a blood test showed his blood sugar levels to be over 400, the normal range is between 70 and 130. Carson spent five days in the hospital and by the time he left he was pricking his fingers and giving himself insulin shots. His mom, Fondra, says it was a huge learning curve for their family.
