Law roundup: Man thinks taxes allow him to drop load

A Columbia Falls employee allegedly told a man he was not allowed to “drop his load of sod” at the location, but the man — who felt he was entitled because he paid taxes —proceeded to dump the load anyway.

Elk allegedly from a Kalispell farm were going onto someone’s property and the resident was worried that someone would hit them.
