YOU KNOW THE COUNTY

9:49 p.m. A woman with a phobia of snakes called 911 to report that a snake was attached to her dog and when her dog ran into the kitchen the snake detached and, at the time of the call, was slithering around on her kitchen floor.

1:31 p.m. A Columbia Falls woman complained that her soon-to-be ex-husband is stealing her electricity.

6:01 p.m. A man on Lost Creek Drive reported that someone, most likely his ex-wife, was rooting around in his mailbox.

Looking for her electricity, no doubt.

6:52 p.m. A resident on Tally Road reported that his mailbox is missing.

I'd check around the stop sign lying on the ground.

I'm amazed at how many of these Flathead County incidents pair up nicely.

10:21 p.m. A parent on Shady Lane requested that a deputy stop by and give his five-year-old a "wake up call" regarding her bad behavior. The deputy denied his request and suggested that parenting would be the best option at this time.

No award is high enough for this deputy.

Damn it, I just can't keep up with all these band names. I'm pretty sure I saw Detached Snakes open for Toad the Wet Sprocket, though.
