Drunk man has run-in with security guard
Flathead County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a condo on St. Andrews Drive in Columbia Falls after a security guard went to the condo due to a noise complaint.
When the security guard checked it out, a very drunk man answered the door, grabbed him by the throat and threatened him.
Responding deputies noticed numerous beer cans all over the condo, and the man was advised that if they had to return, they would take him to jail. His wife, who was sober, said she would make sure there were no further issues.
The guard declined to press charges.
