Daily Inter Lake | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 8 years, 3 months AGO
Flathead County Sheriff’s Office took a report from a woman on U.S. 2 in Columbia Falls who was worried that the sounds of her neighbors screaming and crying meant that the pair were being violent with each other. The couple involved told a deputy that their sounds were part of some adult intimate activities and that they were not hurting each other. The deputy asked the duo to keep their volume down so as not to disturb the neighbors.
A deputy was told there was no longer a need for service after a thieving employee in the Bigfork area was caught stealing from a register. The employee returned the money and was immediately fired without further incident.
A Taser was deployed in order to take a man in Bigfork into custody for assault. The man’s wife had called earlier in the evening complaining that her husband had left the home in a vehicle after drinking. The woman allegedly admitted that she threatened to get a gun when the man pushed her, though she claimed she had no idea where the guns were in the home.
A man on Sleepy Hollow Road reported that his chainsaw had been stolen from beneath his camper earlier in the day. It was the second such theft at the residence in the past month. It was unknown whether or not the Headless Horseman might have been involved in the happenings at the spookily-named address.
Someone on River Drive in Hungry Horse reported that 13 guns had been stolen sometime in the past year.

A woman on Silver Leaf Drive reported her daughter had just gotten out of jail and had allegedly brought a needle and scale into the home. The mother found the items and a bloody napkin and was worried her daughter might get in trouble for violating terms of her release from jail.

Kalispell Police responded to South Main Street where a vandal had apparently taken it upon themselves to carve an ugly word into a pumpkin. The word rhymed with “witch” and was not appreciated by the gourd’s owner. The culprit apparently did not have the power of invisibility in his or her holiday skill set, as the entire incident was caught on video.
