The Columbia Falls Police Department got some thank-yous at last week’s city council meeting.

Councilman John Piper, who also works as a supervisor at the Montana Veterans Home, thanked Police Chief Clint Peters for the way the department handled a resident that had left the home and had an alcohol issue. Police were able to get the resident back to the home without incident.

Separately, resident Shirley Folkwein said she narrowly missed colliding with a pickup truck on the Highway 2 bridge across the Flathead River. The truck took out a big section of guardrail on the bridge. She said police were there almost immediately.
