Have Chinese spy drones infiltrated Columbia Falls? Maybe so, according to a concerned individual who called the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office after multiple alleged sightings of drones circling her house. Whenever they’d fly over, her cell would reportedly start texting Chinese symbols to people. 

A group of guys in Hungry Horse were reportedly sitting in a convertible, with the driver flailing a long barrel shotgun in the air, according to the reporting party.  

A dog groomer phoned law enforcement after a customer never came back for their dog, who keeps attacking other dogs. The groomer allegedly tried contacting the owner to no answer and has had the dog for two weeks now. 

Two males in Kalispell allegedly ditched their clothes and started fighting in the middle of Idaho Street, according to calls to the Sheriff’s Office. The tussle reportedly stopped traffic and involved a homeless person.   

Someone called the Sheriff’s Office because of gas that had reportedly been siphoned from their U-Haul truck weeks ago. He only noticed it three days prior.  

A frustrated employee in Columbia Falls reported a male and female to law enforcement for allegedly breaking into a resort hot tub. 

A tree branch hit a power line early Tuesday morning, prompting a loud explosion, according to the Sheriff’s Office.  

Three full-sized horses and two mini horses were reportedly strolling down the middle of a Kalispell road on their lonesome. The person who reported the free-roaming steeds allegedly almost hit one of them.  

A bald eagle reportedly got stuck in a tree in Columbia Falls. Law enforcement gave the reporting person the contact for Montana Wild Wings Recovery Center. 

Someone in Kalispell reported having their tires slashed sometime in the middle of the night.   

A mischievous car allegedly drove onto someone’s property, making doughnuts and digging trenches into their driveway.
