Four people are in custody after an attempted burglary Monday afternoon at a home on Haywire Gulch in Kalispell.

According to Flathead County Undersheriff Jordan White, the homeowner arrived at his house to find two men he didn’t recognize leaving on foot with a backpack full of his tools. He tried to detain one of the men and wrestled him to the ground, but the man escaped.

When the first deputy responded, he spotted a vehicle matching the description of the getaway vehicle provided by the homeowner. Upon stopping the vehicle, he found some of the stolen tools and drugs inside, along with two men, a boy and a girl.

Shannon Powell, 43, Lakeside, was arrested for burglary, accountability to burglary, obstructing a peace officer, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. The two minors were arrested for burglary.

All of the stolen items were recovered.
