Law roundup: Caller tries to delay scammer’s vacation

Someone calling the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office from Kentucky reportedly wanted to press charges against a person who got a hold of their credit card account information, changed the password and purchased a plane ticket that was set to depart from Kalispell in two hours.

A strange chemical odor was allegedly emanating from the basement of a rental home in Whitefish during an inspection but the tenants refused to let someone check it out.

A Kalispell man was reportedly swindled by a woman he had been talking to online since July and told deputies he lost more than $100,000 in the summer romance scam.
