Someone woke up to the sounds of car alarms and supposedly scared off two men who were getting into cars in the Lawrence Park area.

Store employees may have saved a man from losing money in a scam when he reportedly went to purchase gift cards for someone who called him and told him to do so.

He did, and another store employee told him it was a scam, so he drove home and kept the caller on hold while he called police from his home phone.

Flathead County Sheriff’s Office called back an abandoned 911 call from someone on Swan River Road in Bigfork who was reportedly trying to contact Fish and Game about plastic caught on a concrete boat slip that looked “large, like a body.” A later call came in about the same suspicious object hooked to the boat launch. Turns out, it was just a rolled-up tarp.
