Woman hopes animal owner gets her goat

A goat was loose in Columbia Falls. A Flathead County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher explained Animal Control doesn’t have an ordinance for goats, so there was nothing they could do. The woman who found the goat promised to wait with it until its owner returned.

A neighbor called to complain about dogs barking after filing multiple barking dog complaints. Someone from the FCSO drove over to investigate and said he could hear the dogs “barking away.” The dog owners couldn’t be located, but the caller filled out a statement about the issue.

A man who might have been intoxicated got a ride home from a casino with a woman. The next day, he couldn’t remember quite what had happened, and he thought the woman had stolen his vehicle. However, his vehicle was exactly where he’d left it, locked, in the casino parking lot. He didn’t believe he’d had too much to drink, and he thought someone might have drugged his drink and caused him to forget the night before.

Apparently a man was “inadvertently released” from the Flathead County Detention Center, and his attorney managed to have him voluntarily turn himself back in to the FCSO.

A horse lover called the FCSO because she saw four horses in a pen filled with mud. The FCSO officer who responded said he was aware of the ongoing inhospitable conditions there, and he was going to check on the horses with a veterinarian, a brand inspector and the Department of Livestock.

Wearing a collar apparently wasn’t enough to keep a “large gray fluffy cat” from going missing in Kalispell.
