A man armed with a rifle was reported walking up and down Cougar Trail in Whitefish shooting squirrels. The man told a resident, who reported the incident to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office, that he was going to kill all the squirrels in Happy Valley because they were eating his house. A responding deputy determined nothing illegal was going on.

A deputy recovered a wooden hatchet handle from the scene of a brawl outside a Montana 35 bar. Roughly eight people were involved in the brawl, which a bartender said resulted in several men being beaten badly and possibly heading to the hospital. Everyone had left by the time the deputy arrived, but blood was found on the ground.

A Tall Pine Ridge man called for help after confronting a man who repeatedly drives past the residence.

A group of trash-leaving transients were reported camping at a bridge and culvert off Grandview Drive near Ponderosa Street. A responding officer reported the transients were moving along and cleaning up after themselves.

She tried to confront the teens, but they drove away.
