launched a search Tuesday afternoon for a woman who got turned around when she walked a dog in the woods near her Happy Valley home. She called 911 on her cell phone to report herself lost. A deputy drove to the area and sounded his siren; the woman walked toward the sound until she reached the patrol car. She returned home unscathed.

On Wednesday afternoon, a 6-year-old boy was reported missing from Columbia Mountain Drive. A search program called A Child Is Missing was activated, and it made calls to residents in the area where the boy was thought to be. It turned out a neighbor had picked up the boy from his bus stop, along with the neighbor's own children. He was returned to his anxious father.

Trespassing was reported on Browns Meadow Road.

No one was hurt in a vehicle rollover on U.S. 2 near Columbia Falls, a rollover on Montana 206 near Trapp Road, a vehicle/pole accident on Montana 35, or at a four-vehicle accident on Birch Grove Drive and U.S. 2.

Two men in a Toyota 4Runner showed up Tuesday in a driveway on Echo Lake Road, causing speculation about what they were doing. The driver later was stopped and arrested for DUI. He wasn't the only one; five other drivers were charged with DUI.
