Lake County Sheriff Don Bell has released the names of the two inmates that allegedly assaulted a detention officer and attempted to escape the jail the evening of April 5.
Attorneys for nonprofit Friends of the Jocko and resident Jim Coefield argued in court that the Department of Environmental Quality s environmental assessment during the permitting process of the project s possible impacts to groundwater, wildlife and human health was woefully inadequate and fell far short of the agency s requirements under the Montana Environmental Policy Act.
Randall J. Lumpry, 34, of Ronan entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced on charges of felony burglary, misdemeanor criminal mischief, and violating conditions of a conditional release during an appearance Jan. 24 in Polson District Court.
Judge Molly Owen sentenced a Polson man to one year in the Lake County Jail with all but four days already served suspended. The sentence was in accordance with a plea agreement reached Nov. 1 for Scott William Johnson, 60. Under the plea agreement, Johnson pled guilty to the amended and reduced charge of misdemeanor negligent endangerment.
