A 9-year-old boy

slipped out of school Tuesday in what East Evergreen administrators think was a "planned escape." The school contacted the Flathead County Sheriff's Office, which reported that a deputy had noticed the boy on Harmony Road even before the call was dispatched. The boy was returned to the school.

The disturbance on South Cedar Drive was about $20. A domestic disturbance was reported on Ledgewood Drive. On East Reserve Drive, a passerby picked up a pedestrian who said her husband had hit her. The woman went home, but another dispute arose, and the man left for the night. A disturbance was reported on Blankenship Road Tuesday.

A man who lost his jacket containing his wallet called a credit-card company to notify it of the loss and learned that someone had used the card. Personal information and some checks were reportedly stolen at the Blue Moon.

The owner of an orange Honda Trail 90 motorcycle left it near the Montana 35 bridge when it broke down. He returned to find it gone. Early on Tuesday, a resident on Eagle Drive called to say the motorcycle fairy had apparently visited and left an orange Honda Trail 90 in her garage.
