Law roundup: Man uneasy about campground after 35 years

A man who purportedly discovered a “suspicious campground” in the area of Martin Camp Road 35 years ago was feeling uneasy about it and wanted a deputy to accompany him back to the site. He claimed the site was suspicious because of the people who had gone missing at the time. He was advised the Flathead County Sheriff's Office would be unable to do that without more information about a possible crime. He said he would revisit the site when he was back in town and would call again if he discovered anything else suspicious.

The third time wasn’t the charm for a man on Bayou Road in Kalispell who claimed he was calling to complain about a dog barking for the third time in two weeks and said he had kept a bark log.

Someone reportedly drove by a pool on Conrad Drive in Kalispell and thought it looked like a dog was stuck in the pool and in distress, so they called officers thinking it might drown because no one was around.
