Someone, who couldn’t stop laughing, called the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office claiming their monkey had been gone for two weeks. They reportedly didn’t know their home address when asked by dispatch. Deputies left a voicemail that there was no history of monkeys in Evergreen.

Sisyphus made an appearance in Hungry Horse when someone complained an individual was pushing boulders around after reportedly finding a boulder in a river access site on the property and another in the middle of the road. They said similar occurrences had happened in the past.

A Coram man allegedly had a “string of weird events” occur, telling deputies that a month ago his truck alarm kept going off. Then, two weeks ago the truck was stolen. Most recently, he came home to find firewood propped against his screen door.

A house sitter in Kalispell was spooked after hearing noises through an open window that sounded like glass crashing and breaking on the deck, but she didn’t see anyone outside.

A black bear was seen snacking on birdseed in a bird feeder on someone’s back deck. The bear ran away when deputies approached and the bird feeder was brought indoors.

A Bigfork man reportedly told deputies he was missing his house keys and was “going crazy” because he couldn’t lock up and leave.

Six brown-legged sheep were roaming Bigfork.

An ex-roommate reportedly threw a bunch of eggs at someone’s camper in Kalispell.
