Bar won’t squeal about stolen metal pig

| August 28, 2020 12:00 AM

A man in Columbia Falls told the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office he was missing a large metal pig. He located it outside a bar and took it home. He had hoped there might be some surveillance footage from the bar to help him locate the person who might’ve stolen the pig from his yard, but there wasn’t any video footage to be had.

A man accidentally dialed 911 with his face while he was sleeping, but he told the dispatcher he was all right.

Approximately $1,000 worth of tools were stolen out of the back of a truck.

Someone thought a motorhome parked at a residence was suspicious, and they concocted a lot of potential explanations for the vehicle’s presence on the property. They didn’t expect, however, that the motorhome belonged to a man completely unrelated to the property. He was parking there because his girlfriend lives nearby and he promised to find another spot to park.

An alarm reportedly sounded for multiple days straight at an abandoned building.

A woman said she had to close a checking account three times because someone else had gained access to it, but she said she wasn’t actually out any money.

A woman was worried when an elderly couple who said they were leaving a campground to go fishing never returned to the campsite.

A musician might have taken the name “Electric Avenue” a little too seriously when he played a “blaring” electric guitar on Bigfork’s main street and refused to move when business owners asked him to do so.

Someone saw two vehicles filled with copper, and he thought they might be connected to “recent copper thefts.” The vehicles were expected to be moved shortly after the call.

A man said he had an ongoing issue with his dogs “disappearing and being found several days later and several miles away.” A representative of Animal Control promised to contact the man later on.

A Lakeside caller apparently took a rabbit from the Northwest Montana Fair, but then he wanted Animal Control to “pick it up and return it.” He was apparently argumentative with the FCSO dispatcher and refused to provide any identifying information.

Someone told a FCSO dispatcher “strange things have been happening” at an unspecific location in Columbia Falls.

A man said he felt he was being harassed by a neighbor who allegedly walks through his yard, steps in dog feces and then complains about it.
