Flathead County sheriff
Flathead County sheriff's deputies responded to a South Cedar Drive residence after a 19-year-old man got into an argument with his aunt and her boyfriend. The altercation, which reportedly began because the man was calling his aunt names and being generally unkind, escalated until he allegedly threatened the couple with a knife. The man's aunt agreed not to press charges if he collected his belongings and left. However, he returned to the residence about an hour later and another disturbance ensued. This time, the man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a weapon, trespass, and disorderly conduct.
