An overturned vehicle on Haywire Gulch caused excitement Friday night.

When Flathead County sheriff's deputies arrived, no one was in the car.

Later, a woman called to admit the vehicle was hers; she'd rolled the car while reaching for a cigarette. She wasn't injured, but she had been drinking and didn't have insurance.

A man checked the place he's been house-sitting in Bigfork for the first time in several weeks, only to find the home in disarray and the computer and vehicle missing. The vehicle was found abandoned with four flat tires several miles off the highway; the road has to dry out before a tow truck can reach it.

An intoxicated man hung out at a Hungry Horse garage sale, asking for money. A woman requested help from deputies when he wouldn't leave her front yard, but he was gone before deputies arrived.

A 19-year-old woman wrote a bad check at a gas station in Happy Valley. When a gas station employee called the woman's residence, her mother said her daughter has a habit of writing bad checks.

Deputies recovered a car reported stolen a few days ago. They found it high centered, and the 9 mm pistol that had been in it was missing.

A 12-year-old girl reportedly broke a woman's cell phone and stole her cigarettes.

A set of tires were stolen from the back of a pickup.

A garbage can was stolen on Coclet Lane.
