Police investigated the Missoula Electric Cooperative burglary and were able to identify Prindel and Sutton, who both confessed to the crime to police. (KYSS-FM)
2. Minor flooding is still a concern through the end of today, Apr. 11, due to the recent mild temperatures. Minor flooding caused by increased runoff as well as rising rivers and streams is possible, especially if culverts become clogged. (NWS Missoula via Twitter)
3. The Bureau of Land Management's Missoula Field Office has scheduled two open houses to discuss the management of its lands in the Lower Blackfoot watershed with the public.
