Flathead County Commissioner Phil Mitchell appeared before Judge Heidi Ulbricht to enter a not guilty plea to the charge of felony criminal mischief on Thursday, August 31, in Kalispell. Mitchell is accused of killing trees at a county park which would cost over $30,000 to replace. He must report to the Flathead County Sheriffs office no later than September 1 to be formally booked and released.
