Flathead County Sheriff's Office notified a game warden Monday

when a man's crocodile came up missing on Conrad Drive. The man believed

someone entered his house and took the 18-to-20-inch croc. After about

12 hours of what seemed to be a crocodile-free house, he called

authorities, only to find his pet a half hour later, under the kitchen

cabinet.

Game wardens were busy with bears reported on Talbot Road near

Columbia Falls; on Mallard Loop, where a bear trespassed in a garden,

making dogs bark; at the ice rink in Whitefish where a bear keeps

returning; and on Shady Lane, where the apples attract a bear. The bear

reported behind Glacier Bank in Evergreen is just a cub.

A man reported passing two armed men on a trail at Stanton Lake

Monday and later finding a sheriff's evidence tag from a gun. The

evidence tag listed a deputy's name and the name of a man who reportedly

fired a shot towards his mother earlier this year.

A parent has a bad feeling about the man who keeps calling his

18-year-old daughter, he reported.

Harassment was reported in Coram, where an earlier stab at

mediation apparently failed. Horses cause friction between neighbors in

Coram. A man said he was assaulted while repossessing a vehicle on Kings

Way.

Attempted break-ins to businesses were reported in a building on

Trumble Creek Road. On-going vandalism was reported at Huckleberry

Patch.

After a report of domestic abuse at Blanchard Lake, an arrested

man wanted to go to the hospital because he hasn't been feeling well.

Officers took him there. He refused treatment. They prepared to take him

to the jail. He decided he wanted tests. He eventually wound up in the

jail.

On Toftum Lane, a man left for the night after marital discord. A

woman banging on a windows at a man's home in Hungry Horse was warned

that she'll be charged with trespassing next time. A woman wants help

with the man who moved, uninvited, into her home and now won't leave,

even though she's planning to move out; it's her son.
