Law roundup: Search is on for Squiggles the goat

Squiggles the nanny goat went missing in Bigfork. Squiggles is a 2-foot-tall black and white female, about 30 pounds, with coloring that forms a curvy shape on her forehead.

Someone called the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office to report their disdain for the acrid smell of burning plastic coming from a neighbor’s property in Columbia Falls. The odor was tracked to a burning cardboard box covered in packing tape.

A man in Columbia Falls saw a loose mule that looked very sweaty to someone who thought it had been running awhile and told deputies he would call back if someone got it or if it wandered away.
