The Best of the Bozeman Police Reports

Culled from the Police Reports page of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle come the best of the Bozeman police reports from the last week along with some items from the Sheriff's Office.

Peacocks make their first appearance in the police blotter and an increasing number of locals seem to be getting drunk and falling asleep in places where they don't belong – in other peoples' cars and other peoples' houses, all of which seems to have led to problems for those locking themselves out of their house and climbing in through a window as neighbors look on. We'll be sure to double-check our windows and doors from now on…
