A 24-year-old accused of stealing a vehicle from a Kalispell repair shop in 2022 and later breaking into an Evergreen business saw the charges against him dismissed this month.
Barah Zebariah Wood faced felony theft and burglary charges as well as a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief in two separate cases in Flathead County District Court after a pair of arrests in summer 2022. He initially pleaded not guilty in both cases, but struck a plea deal in December of that year.
When he failed to show up for his March 16, 2023 sentencing, Judge Heidi Ulbricht issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Authorities caught up with him in November 2023, according to district court records.
