Truck from 'nowhere' arrives somewhere

| January 11, 2020 4:00 AM

A homeowner believed a truck idling in front of her house “came from nowhere.” She asked someone from the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office to drive through the area and check on the vehicle.

A man was worried when he saw a supposedly abandoned “rig with a snowmobile trailer hooked up to it.” He said he waited there for an hour and a half before he “sensed something was wrong.” He thought the snowmobile owner might have been lost since he believed the owner could not be camping out there for the night. The rig turned out to belong to a trapper who had decided to go to the area the following day, and his wife reported everything was fine.

Someone called law enforcement when she noticed some “stuff [was] missing,” but then her son’s wallet mysteriously “re-appeared.”

A driver reported someone else “going well below the speed limit.” Another driver was reported to law enforcement for driving slowly and putting on his turn signal but never turning.

An ex-girlfriend known for carrying knives refused to leave her ex-boyfriend’s house. She was removed from the property.

A man claimed “someone just tried to break down his door.” He said he was sitting on the ground by the door with a pistol. He requested an officer “shine [a] spotlight on [the] front of his house.”

A man in Whitefish reported the theft of his blue and green skis with white bindings and his poles.

Someone reportedly stole a check from a mailbox, washed the check and attempted to cash it.

A man wanted law enforcement to note that someone drove up to his house and stole some of his firewood.

A mother called law enforcement because she was “having issues” with her teenaged son. She apparently caught her son vaping and he refused to get out of bed.

A man said a woman called him asking if he had been contacted about purchasing a tiger-skin rug.

Tools that were stolen from a truck were found in a pawn shop.

A vehicle has apparently parked in the way of a snowplow multiple times. The person who complained about the vehicle said it “will be plowed” it if isn’t moved. The county decided not to tow it yet.
