The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office and Kalispell Police Department were both called to deal with a Marion man reported going on a rampage and threatening people.

The man’s father first contacted the sheriff’s office to report the 34-year-old had just tore out of the driveway, mad after the father “put up a roadblock” to stop the son from dumping things on their property, part of an ongoing dispute between the man and his father, which had at times been physical. The man was subsequently arrested then posted bond and was released.

A nephew of the man later called Kalispell police to discuss protection for his parents, saying the man had threatened to burn down their house and kill them. In the meantime, the man was again arrested during a felony traffic stop.

The sheriff’s office received reports from a woman claiming her husband was intimidating her and from her husband saying she had been threatening and harassing him.
