Law roundup: Opening locked door not as easy as butter

 A drunk man allegedly tried using a butter knife to break into a woman’s bedroom and then began screaming and slamming doors. He ran out the backdoor when she called the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office and yelled to him that she didn’t have his keys.
