| August 14, 2007 1:00 AM

Flathead County Sheriff's deputies calmed a father holding two boys at gunpoint early Monday morning after he found them in his 15-year-old daughter's bedroom. The father heard some noises in the bedroom, broke in after his daughter wouldn't answer the door, and found a 15-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man inside.

The father then called in the deputies. He also leveled a shotgun at the pair to make sure they stayed put until deputies arrived. No one was arrested.

Deputies arrested a 26-year-old man for hitting a kid in the head with a metal scooter. The kid who got hit had shot the man's child with a BB gun. The man was arrested for assault with a weapon and on two warrants.

Deputies were alerted to a possible drunk driver with two young children in the car on Bowdish Road.

Two women hiked up Baptiste Mountain and ended up staying the night, which they weren't prepared to do. They walked out the next morning, but not until after the North Valley Search and Rescue team had been notified.
