'Yuppies' give Bigfork man problems

A Bigfork man told Flathead County Sheriff’s officers he wanted to get a reaction from the “yuppies” who allegedly give him problems, which he said is why he set up a target across a roadway and started firing at it. Officers told the man the message had been received.

An officer told a young man who called about a bike that had been taken that “he needs to be more responsible,” according to county call logs. “I asked the [caller] why he wanted his bike back when he seems to leave it other places and unattended without being locked up,” the call logs stated.
