Eavesdropping traveler has no evidence

An observant traveler told the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office he overheard a fellow passenger on his flight talking about being involved in protests in Washington, D.C. and “making threatening statements toward law enforcement.” The caller allegedly checked the airport reader board to learn the suspect’s identity. He wanted to report the man for “domestic terrorism,” but law enforcement found there were multiple people with the same name, and there were “no threats toward law enforcement or indication this individual had committed any crime.”

Three horses — two tan, one mostly white — were reportedly loose near Airport Road. They eventually returned to their property.

In another loose animal case, a boxer puppy that was estimated to be less than a year old was spotted roaming in Somers. The caller left food out for the stray dog and said she would keep an eye out for it.

Meanwhile, in Kalispell, a dog that allegedly gets tangled up in its leash and barks on a regular basis was reported to the Sheriff’s Office. However, when officers checked the area, they didn’t find any dogs around.

A man got worried when his brother, who had been following the caller home from an auto body shop, didn’t show up for two hours after the caller got home. The elusive brother ended up in Libby.

A broken phone was turned in to the Sheriff’s Office.

A man described as a “sketchy dude” reportedly left trash at a park. He was warned about his littering.
