1:54 p.m. A game warden was called out to shoot a deer that had been injured in a car accident. Unfortunately, the deer was just mobile enough to run away every time the warden approached. Because the warden couldn’t get close enough for a safe shot, he decided to “let nature take its course.”

9:42 p.m. A Bigfork man called 911 because his lights were on and he didn’t have the strength to get out of bed and turn them off. He wanted to know if there was a deputy in the neighborhood that could take care of that for him.

1:15 a.m. A drunk driver in Kalispell spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out how to get gasoline from the pump to their car.

2:46 p.m. A Bigfork man was considering buying a house but wanted to know how many meth labs had been run out of it in the past. According to law enforcement, there had only been one and it was in the garage.

11:42 p.m. Someone from out of town called local authorities to say he knew the whereabouts of a man with multiple warrants out of “Whitefish County.” Apparently, the man didn’t know the name of the county he was calling.

No, Lucky is a very good dog, surely he wasn’t running a meth lab out of the garage.

I do hope they sent an ambulance. I feel like not having enough strength to get out of bed is medical issue, and I wouldn’t put  much faith in the metal state of someone who called 911 to turn off the lights either.

What is a peacock doing in a snow bank?

6:45 p.m. A Columbia Falls man called 911 to report a drunk driver. Upon further investigation, the dru nk driver was his girlfriend.

How isn’t this the next entry in the blotter? “ 6:47 p.m. A Columbia Falls man was attacked by his ex-girlfriend.”

I’m surprised they do ok in the cold. The climate of Montana is I think quite a bit different than their native habitat (I’m pretty sure they don’t inhabit the high Himalayas, and the rest of the sub-continent is pretty toasty as far as I know).

Edit: Hmm, wikipedia says:

In isolated cases, the Indian peafowl has been known to be able to adapt to harsher climates, such as those of northern Canada . The species has been spotted by hunters as far north as Huntsville, Ontario , [ citation needed ] thriving in its newly adapted northern climate.
