Good morning, Missoula. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 6th of August.

CRIME NEWS

  • On August 3, a Montana Highway Patrol trooper stopped 65-year-old Lawrence Kiner on Demer Street after he nearly drove into oncoming traffic; Kiner (whose ninth DUI had already revoked his license from a 2019 offense) fought the officer and tried to flee before being arrested and charged with felony DUI, resisting arrest, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and driving without an interlock device (with a $100,000 bond set).  Newstalk KGVO
  • The Office of Disciplinary Counsel filed two complaints against former staff attorney Scotti Ramberg for alleged misconduct—accusing her of filing illegal liens and taking possession of a house without permission that led to a misdemeanor theft conviction—and she has not commented while a hearing could lead to penalties up to disbarment.  KPAX

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • On Monday, Missoula City Council and Mayor Andrea Davis offered condolences to Anaconda after a shooting at the Owl Bar claimed four lives—police and firefighters provided support while tracking the armed suspect who remains at large.  KPAX
  • Missoula city officials reported that new property assessments came in lower than expected but will not greatly impact the proposed FY26 budget. The city will review the numbers next week and keep a 3.5% property tax increase to add about $4.4 million — some residents may see lower taxes while others could pay more.  Missoula Current

HEALTH NEWS

  • The University of Montana has received a $2.5 million grant from the Federal Health Resources Administration to improve behavioral health care in underserved areas. This third cycle of funding will boost UM programs in counseling, nursing and social work—helping students gain clinical experience in rural communities.  Newstalk KGVO
