Kalispell police apprehended Joshua Menning, a 23-year-old man who escaped from custody Wednesday afternoon.

Menning and his girlfriend had been picked up for being in his father's house without permission, and for drug possession. They were being questioned at police headquarters. When officers left Menning in one interview room while they spoke with his girlfriend, he walked out. He was not in handcuffs at the time.

Police Chief Frank Garner said Menning was taken into custody again Wednesday evening.

Police received a complaint Wednesday morning about an evicted tenant who was now digging holes in the landlord's yard "in hopes that she'll fall into them."
