The Flathead County Sheriff's Office dispatched rescuers to a serious crash involving a truck and a car Friday morning on Mennonite Church Road and Montana 35. A 15-year-old boy was extricated from a wrecked passenger vehicle. He went by ALERT helicopter to the hospital, and two other people went by Kalispell Fire Department ambulances. The Creston Fire Department was also there, and the road was closed to traffic for two hours.

Animal wardens were notified about a black bear on Wheeler Lane, an injured eagle near the North Fork of the Flathead River, and an injured fawn on Echo Lake Road.

Deputies were called twice to a home near Columbia Falls, where first a woman said her son and his friend threatened her, and later the son complained that his father poked his friend in the chest and threatened him.

A man was told to stay away from a neighbor's house on Coon Hollow Road, where he was angry about machinery keeping him awake at 9 p.m.

A full campground at Wayfarer's State Park enraged a man who wanted to camp there.

A man was arrested for DUI when his truck was found in a ditch off of Pierce Lane. Another man was arrested after a woman reported that he shot at her and she took the clip from his gun. He went away, but came back after deputies arrived and was arrested. On Thursday night, a boy claimed he was assaulted by three boys; one had a pistol and two wore masks, he said. One boy hit him with a bat, and the other used his fists.

A rock was thrown through a car window in Hungry Horse. Rocks dropped from trees on the highway near the dump. Part of a shed door was broken at Rudy's Autosound, but nothing was taken.

Dogs chased a runner in Lakeside.
