I just heard from a friend of mine also from others regarding this. My friend rented a house to some people. They had paid last month through June at the other place, they had not completely moved out and still had to clean the rental. The land lord for some unknown reason went into the rental through everything still left, garbage included and deposited it in the yard of the new rental. Police officer did nothing "said" it was a civil manner. This same landlord shot a mama dog an her 8 or nine 10 week old puppies in the head. These dogs belonged to a man who was staying at the house temporarily. The owner of the dogs was arrested, not the cruel man who did this terrible thing. I will not mention his name because I sure don't want him coming after me or my kids. But I do know who he is. I heard the police have done nothing to this man.

File complaints with the state.

The moving of the property, while annoying, is not against the law. It is not a crime to be a miserable SOB. That is why the police told you it was a civil matter. It was. A lot of times, people want to the police to arrest someone for being unpleasant but being unpleasant is not a crime.

If the rent was paid up through June the landlord had no legal right to go through anything and remove anything.

If there is proof the rent was paid they can take the landlord to court and get compensation.

Problem is, it would cost more to hire the lawyer than the claim would be worth.

I once was a renter,and was totally on the side of the oppressed.

Then I became a landlord. Soon I realized that not everyone treated private property as well as I did during my 20 years of renting.

When I was a renter, i would keep the the property up, mow the grass and such, just because it was the right thing to do.

Now renters want all sorts of compensation. I am increasingly moving towards a tea party point of view, as the less fortunate have turned out to be pigs.

I am also a land lord and legally i can not dispose of the renters property that was left until after a year, he had no right to touch their property and no right to put on my friends property. He is a sob and is the same one that shot out of season the long horned sheep a few years ago, nothing done to him then either I was told.

What we don't know is what kind of renters these people were and what condition the property was in,

well Let me fill u in. The renters were not bad!!!!! Rent allways paid and property was taken care of. THe dog that was shot was mine and my husbands dog. He was staying with friends with Cali. Ive had cali since she was a brand new pup. she was a christmas present. She and i have been through hell and back together and she was no less then my first born. She was a great dog, I have never left her but i was sick then I had my baby and needed to focus on that. my husband kept cali, so that i wouldnt have to stress on her. untill we got back on our feet and found a place that allowed dogs. that man had no right to climb through a window of the house and shot my baby!! and her babys. he got mad when cali went after him when he climbed through window of the room she had her puppies!!! and he shot her!!! he is a peice of poop!!! and his name is Darby vosler. I dont care if the renters were the worst. what that man did was un forgivable. and completly uncalled for!! there was no eviction or or unpaid rent hes just a worthless peice of garbage. he did not just kill a dog he killed in cold blood my baby. i will never get to look into hwer eyes or feel her lean on me untill i hold her face. My new baby will never get to grow up the dog who would lay her head on my belly allmost every night i was pregnant. Not to mention she had just had babys and for the first time she was seeing what it was like to not be the baby!!! who the procreate climbs through a window of a house he owns???? if he was in the right!!!! and trust in believe he will be charged!!! and legally punished.

If - repeat IF - these are the facts, then I would hope the renter's name gets circulated around town so that maybe justice of some sort will prevail. Like it or not, the police officer was correct in that the incident was a civil matter, UNLESS local laws require that a renter give advance notice before entering a rented dwelling. If that were the case, then they could be charged with criminal trespass, etc., even though they own the property.

People should check out their prospective landlords just as landlords check out potential renters. Probably a few stooges in both categories, but sure makes you appreciate good people!

It is being investigated! and so is his poaching charge. And I hate to say that a landlord shooting a tennants dog who is with pups and in the home. isnt considered legal and within his rights as a landlord!! its all going through the process. and properlly investigated. and many outside org.s are and will be involved in seeing he doesnt get away with killing her.

Liz, my response about police "civil" comment being correct only pertained to the matter of the clothes/property in the yard, which was the only context it was first mentioned. Animal cruelty is clearly criminal and a whole different matter.

This is sounding like an forthcoming episode of Judge Judy.

Liz you are not being honest, maybe the rent was paid but the property was not being taken care of yard a mess, dogs and cats in house, inside was filthy and people coming and going at all hours of the day and night. the renters may of paid their rent but the condition of that home I wouldn't want them renting from me.

I was wrong about Judge Judy. Perhaps Jerry Springer.

Clearly we are missing some facts.




BTW, I see that the locator thing shows me in DC? I'm in OK, but I lived in Miles City from 2003-2007!

[This message has been edited by JWA (6/16/2014)]

i didnt live there, i cant say what all took place there, but i can say that i knew the couple who lived there right befor my friends the yard was poop from the start, the kitchen sink was completly rusted out, and literally ghetto riged not to leak, and the laundry room looked like it never got finished. so allready the landlord lucked out people need homes. the inside of the inside looked lived in, Wheather U would rent to them because of traffic or dogs is a completly different issue then if u would climb through a window and kill a dog, who was only alone for a matter of hrs. while the dispute over the belongings and when My husband returned they where all dead!! Honestly none of that poop matters to me, nothing should of caused that to happen. thats what civil court is for u have a issue file the paper work like other landlords dont act like a weak punk and shot a family dog who has nothing to do with the problem. I could give 2 poops about the belongings i only care that my baby got caught in the middle!!

Look, I wasnt trying to get into a debate about how great of tenents they were, nor do i care weather u would rent to them, thats all besides the fact, that a grown man climbed through a window with a gun with intentions to kill!! for no other reason but spite because he was aware they were being picked up, with last load. that day. his tantrum, only prolonged it, he didnt kill his tenents dog or cats, he killed mine, who had only been there a couple weeks, and he would never have to see again. she wasnt allowed in yard she went poop on walkes, she didnt run around house she stayed with my husband or in outside room. if he was any kind of "landlord he would have served them with notices of the complaints, or had any kind of documentation, and if the few hrs she was there alone during move was that big of a probem he should of called animal control!!!!! no he jumped the chance to climb through a window and kill her!! so procreate his property and yard!!!! procreate him!!! cause hes lucky its not burnt to the ground now!!!, procreate next time he has a problem with a renter maybe he can smack their kid around!!! im sure that will teach them to leave garbage in the yard!!!

Wow..I can't believe someone is that stupid to do this. There are so many animal lovers in Miles City. There are so many people who cannot understand or tolerate animal abuse. I would not want to be Darby Vosler right now. Miles City has been known to have its own little vigilante groups in the past. I would not be surprised if another isn't forming as I write this. If I were Darby Vosler I would be hoping I was arrested so I would be safely tucked away.

To the people who lost their pups, you have my deepest sympathies.

Oh..and to the real estate companies who have Darby Vosler's rentals listed, might want to rethink who you do business with.

[This message has been edited by Kacey (6/16/2014)]

The landlord was wrong and I am sorry that your dog got shot that never should of happened and I hope that you make sure that he is held accountable for it. I am a dog lover so I understand that pain ou are going thru.

Although, I'm my own landlord, should I be home and find someone crawling through a window with a gun, let them suffer the consequences. As Dirty Harry would say, "Make My Day".

Allegedly, this is the same individual that plea bargained for a lesser sentence and a slap on the wrist in the 2004 poaching of the Big Horn ram out in the Pine Hills. Unfortunately, one of the conditions was not that he was never to own a gun again.

I know many landlords that have rental properties, and have heard many horror stories of landlord tenant relationships. In this instance we have only heard one side of the story. If they should prove true or even partially true, any decent human being should react with these descriptions, sick, twisted, sadistic et al. After shooting the Mother dog would the suckling puppies prove much of a threat? There must be consequences for such actions. I would urge all avenues be explored. Many that would get involved with no cost to you.

I find it odd that a landlord would need to climb through a window. Why didn't he just use his key to come in the front door.

If the tenants were in the process of moving their things out why did the landlord feel the need to go over there before everything was moved out? There must be more to this story.

I have talked to the tenants and they don't know why. But others have said the landlord drinks is mean and an ass.

So is anything being done about this landlord?

Perhaps he used a window so it would look like someone without a key did it all.

Don`t blame drinking for someone being an ass or being mean.And don`t call someone an ass because you do not like him or her.An ass is a relative of a horse and I like horses and so do a lot of other people around here,it is kind of horse country.The definition of mean I think means average and this is no average sob.And do not call him a sob as a mother has only so much influence on an offspring and actually a bitch is what he killed.I do not agree with what he did.And don`t call him miserable,he does what he pleases,miserable people rarely do as they please.I doubt if he clambered in through a window as he would have a key and would have just kicked the front door in if he did not as he owns the house,but I was not there so I don`t know for sure.Nobody else commenting here was either it seems.Does anybody know if he tried to get anyone to remove the dogs?Like the owner,the tenants or anyone else?Did these dogs have food and water?If these animals were so important why were they left in this house?How long were they left there?Why was someone arrested and for what?Has anyone commenting here called darby and asked him what happened?he advertises his rentals so I am sure his phone number is no secret.I don`t see the renters saying they called him and I am sure they have his number but I could have missed that.I know darby has a dog and would threaten anyone and probably do something if they were going to do anything to his dog nomatter how bad the dog screwed up.But sometimes a dog is no better than it`s owner.Maybe his dog is rabid.And don`t call him dumb because,well or deaf either.I am sorry the dogs are dead and there is no bringing them back.There.Istuck up for you darby when noone else would.

Wow....where to start. I have seen the places Mr. Vosler rents out, slum lord comes to mind. I have know people who have rented from him, they would wake up and have him in their house watching them sleep, send inappropriate text to females renting from him, never fix things, the list goes on and on. I know of this man and they are right he's an ass. Wasn't he investigated a few years ago for poaching? Someone posted maybe the dog and puppies where not being cared for, food, water etc. If that was the case why the hell is he crawling through a window. Call dispatch and get animal control over and check things out. Yes we don't know the details or both sides of the story, but whatever it may be nobody should be killing animals to prove a point. What a creep!

It is his house, if you want privacy rights you need to have a bunch of houses or know some influential people. Poor people are the floor mats of these people that call real-estate speculation a career.

Buy a pig, apply lipstick, put on suit and charge people for a lie. As always this guy will probably get to settle in a civil manner. Only poor people go to criminal court.

I have heard the same stories that Patty O referred to first hand.

Did someone see darby vosler crawling through a window?I mean this time to shoot the dogs?If someone was watching then they should step up and say what they saw and what he did with the dogs after he shot them.Did he throw them out this window he crawled in to shoot the dogs after he shot them?Who says there were even any dogs.If there were where are they now?Even if a landlord was stupid enough to go in a house where he did not belong,crawling through a window or not,to shoot some dogs in the house no one and I mean NO ONE would be stupid enough to tell anyone thatI shot these dogs and I put them over here,lets go take a look.So there is no proof of anything unless someone saw something.Watching people sleep in their house?Maybe as a landlord he gave them the required 24 hour notice to fix something and just happened to come in while this person or people were asleep and did not want to wake them up.Who was this person who said this?Asingle female,a juvinile male,juvinile female?Let them step up and tell their story.If not it is all heresay.Improper texts?there is a record then,post them here.Anyone have any pictures?darby was married for a number of years and has kids. If darby vosler is such a creep and a sicko and poacher and a pervert would she have stayed married to him for that many years?Didn`t they have animals at their house?Has anyone called her and asked her about this?I think she is in on managing the rental property as they were married I have seen her advertise the rental property on milescity.com.was Tracey Vosler with Darby when he supposidely did these things as she owned half of them?Hard to imagine she would not have heard of these things going on or condone them.Does anyone have a copy of the sheriff`s report?If not why not.It is public and your right to know as it is taxpayers dollars.Get it and post it here.Has anyone called Tracey or Darby and asked them what happened and told them what people are posting here?Has anyone called them and asked them what happened and told them that they should tell their side of the story?They both post here so they do not have secret phone numbers.If you do not have proof it is heresay or gossip.Or a fake conspiracy like you here Washington talk about.

Jett:
You need to stop now. In your first post you state "actually a bitch is what he killed."

YOU stated that he did kill the momma dog.

So posting another rant later only makes you seem like you're now trying to cover for what you said.

I ain`t coverin` for nothing or nobody.I wasn`t there.I did not see anything.Did you?If you are so concerned go get a copy of the sheriff`s report and post it.If someone saw something their names will be in the report unless they are juviniles.If this is a Miles City Witch Hunt we missed our chance because Friday the 13th with a full moon just passed.Had there been some gossip organization they could have duct taped darby`s hat around his feet,someone could have yelled "GET A ROPE" and he could have been strung up by his ankles and dunked until he drowned in the natural oasis.I really don`t think he would float.Called a floater and then he doesn`t float.A community gossip event if you will hopefully complete with a bonfire.And a rope.Simply put.Where is the proof of anything posted here?And who is saying I am ranting kacey?I am just asking for proof,if you do not have proof it is just ranting.I am all for a drag hanging and then drowning in the community pond with a nice bonfire of a dog killer under a full moon on Friday the 13th as the next guy.And according to tradition he should be drug,then dunked but not drowned,then burned and then drowned.But you should have some proof.

FYI, calling someone a "floater" offends the sensibilities of some and in fact may violate the city of Missoula's anti-discrimination ordinances that protect the LGBT community.

And Missoula has jurisdiction over darby vosler and miles city how?And floaters?I think you better inform Butch asap.This is important because I think I saw a floater over at the natural oasis.I also think I saw some on the river.If missoula needs to step in Butch should probably know so he can kneel to some floaters from missoula and them feed them a complimentary dinner.Myself and no one else is anti-lgbt here.Happy you are lgbt gunner.I think most here in Miles City are tolerant of just about anything within reason but thanks for trying to shove your agenda down everyone`s throat...gunner,but we have a possible witch hunt on our hands and are busy.Keep us up to date with the latest lgbt slang though gunner.It helps to be current on the latest slang.Use your expertise and tell us,from the context of your post,you are an expert,is Darby Vosler a floater by missoula and your definition?Are you calling Darby Vosler a floater gunner?If Darby is a floater like your definition it sounds like you better get down here and protect him.Are you up for it Darby?It is about time we hear from Darby.

Personally I think you all sound like a bunch of paper assholes trying to buy fire insurance!!!!

That might've been an understatement. It should be more defined as a bunch of Hippocratic paper a holes. Why would you all want to persecute someone for shooting a pitbull thats was over aggressive left unattended for three days by someone who just spent 18 years in the California state pen for his involvement in animal cruelty..
Yes, that's right animal cruelty you guessed it dogfighting. Whom by the way was trespassing.
And apparently it was more than just the neighbors that thought they were dealing drugs because of the traffic, because they were also under investigation and still are by DEA!
So the guy removed the drug dealers and the killer dog do you really think he deserves all the bullpoop you perfect people have wrote about him?
Sounds like you should all thank him , it could have been your kids buying drugs there???
There Darby I've been there and know how it feels to be slandered.. When nobody knows the facts.

this just keeps getting juicier, Im gonna need more popcorn

bottom line: the dogs were destroyed. someone is responsible. is there a fund or something for helping this guy get another dog? instead of ranting and raving, maybe we can do something nice.

I'll start a fund to buy Jett some carriage returns.

Davis? How do you know all of this?What killer dog?From what I see there is a dog killer not a killer dog.Did this dog kill anything?How do you know it was aggressive?WERE YOU THERE?If not this just more gossip and you are feeding the fire.How do you know this person was in prison for animal cruelty?Do you have proof?If so show it.And if he was in prison and released he has be rehabilitated unlike the person who supposidly killed these dogs.Noone has shown proof that there were even any dogs.Why are you slandering these people? Killer dog,drug dealers,can you prove any of this?If not it is nothing more than gossip and slander.How do you know the dog was left there for 3 days.Were you watching the place this closely?If so for what reason,waiting to rob the place?Maybe you work for the DEA?That is how you know the DEA is investigating?Just more gossip from someone that probly sits home and watches soap operas all day on government tax dollars.If Darby had the balls to post here I would ask him 1.Did you shoot these dogs 2.What would you do if someone shot your dog.But it seems Darby does not have the balls to post here or answer these questions.Maybe he lost them in the divorce.Maybe Darby is like the paper a-holes that Davis talks about except a paper cowboy that can`t stand up for himself and shoots puppies in a barrel and hides.Someone post his number,I will call him and tell him to post here and tell people he is not a paper cowboy trying to rida half roll of a$$wipe.

I will work on that carriage return bit Bridgier.You would not believe how hard it was to hook my manual typewriter to the internet.

I have a theory as to what is going on here. Have you read the "Snake thread"?

Snakes on a plane, that's when it all went bad. Once they started flying, well....we are all in peril.

What has that got to do with snakes? You may well ask. It is a well known fact that snakes have hypnotic powers. Isn't it possible that when people start babbling like idiots, imagining drug crazed zombies!, Randomly discharge handguns, in the direction of expecting bitches and generally running rampant, think about it. It only makes sense that chem-trails are not the only thing falling from the sky. SNAKES! it's snakes, I tell you.

It is the only logical conclusion.....snakes. Get to church. The end is neigh. Should this continue, the next thing you know people will be quibbling pointlessly.

There are no snakes.There is no proof.All there is is killer dogs,dog killers,FBI,DEA helicopters,guns,witches,someone with a crystal ball,someone who broke theirs,landlords,tennants,a whole bunch of people that know ALL about the law,someone with popcorn,someone who says animal cruelty is bad but shooting dogs is not.This is like an internet post where it starts out. On a cold and stormy night there was a landlord with a gun-and then you let the next person make up the next part-then the next person and so on.But people are believing everything they read here.There are a lot of things here.But-2 things there are not. 1.Snakes 2.any proof or documentation of anything.

Allow me to add another thing to the list of the missing:

3) PROCREATEING VERTICAL WHITESPACE

[This message has been edited by Bridgier (6/19/2014)]

I am trying to conserve paper

The longer this thread gets the more bizarre it becomes with posts that are here with all sorts of allegations, but so far no proof.

The only fact that has been proven as undeniably true is the landlord has a past conviction of gut shooting a big horn ram and leaving it to suffer. That was in 2004, 10 years ago.

In this instance, the renters may or may not have been the ideal ones. As a owner landlord he should have reasonable reason to check on his property, but why go armed? Why after killing the mother dog, be it a pit bull or a little yapper, then kill all of the suckling puppies? Those are the 2 questions that any reasonable person should ask.

Just as a reminder, a reasonable post, need not contain profanity nor a pitiful attempt at sarcasm.

There are good reasons to be frustrated with Darby ( I have my own). Not sure any of them have been posted here.

The "floater" langauage is offensive. My guess is that Jet with two t's has floaters of the brain or eyes and can't see how offensive and insulting the language is. If Jet with two t's keeps this up he/she may be downgraded to "airplane".

Turboprop maybe
What is a floater? My reference to floater was reference to Monty Python and The Holy Grail and a witch hunt.I doubt the scales would show darby weighs the same as a duck.Therefore he is not a floater and therefore not a witch so on and so on.Google Monty Python and witch and you probably will be able to see that there is precedent set by a VERY high Court.
If a floater is so very offensive that Gunnar-notice I noticed the speling of your name this time,maybe it wasn`Gunnar who brought the floater thing up.Once again,does Miles City really care what Missoula thinks,and because one person or even the entire city of missoula either likes floaters-whatever they are-or does not that someone should be threatened on this site for saying floater? There is a post here,someone tell myself and others just what the f a floater is.Gunnar and Richard find floaters so offensive they cannot even tell me or anyone what what a floater is.Is it worse than a killer dog?Is it worse than a dog killer?Just what the f is a floater anyway?? If it is offensive Missoula voters should make sure floater is on the ballot or something here in Miles City.
Again,what is a floater and can your possibly skewed definition upset the higher Court that has established precedent shown above?

I think not

check this out davis whoever u are thwe dog was not overly aggressive procreate she wasnt aggressive at all. just because she barked at people or made someone nervous dont mean shes aggressive as for you talking poop on my husband, for dog fighting yea well over 10 yrs ago, none of you r procreateen business. hes not that person, he wasnt procreateen trespassing the tennents new damn well he was there, dog being lefyt there unatended, with no food or water, for 3 days??????????? thats not what the tennents told me, if she was aggressive when he came in it was over the puppies. I raised that dog and not one person who ever met her thought she was aggressive. and yea i have tried to contact vosler by email off this site. Im very emotional over loseing cali, and unless u know me personally dont sit there talking poop. they make shelters and animal control for that very reason, she should of been with me but i had a baby and was very sick, i moved and couldnt manage her and new baby!! she was not aggressive or mean. protective yes but never bit anyone or even came close.

Number 1 is offensive

Floater
a term to describe the level of someone's gayness. if they are very gay, they float because they are so flam-buoyant.
That guy is wearing a pink boa. He's definitely a floater.

Number 2 is just a fun fact

Floater
Fecal matter that refuses to be flushed. Variously known as a strong swimmer. Not to be confused with sticktites or gluons

Also, a line of bullpoop that cannot be accepted.
We didn't believe him, so we said, "That poop won't flush", "That one's a floater".

I'm here to educate as well as entertain.

[This message has been edited by Tucker Bolton (6/20/2014)]

What about someone who floats a river?Is that person a floater?

To 'float' is also a term used describe sex with minimal/no movement, because then you're not REALLY having sex, and then the administration at BYU won't kick you out (although I bet they still totally would, because you're totally having sex, just not particularly good sex).

Back to the matter at hand.By any of the above definitions does Darby qualify as a floater.?>Such as did Darby "float" through the window?If there was no one there to see Darby float through the window is he still a "floater"? What are those spots you see in your eyes,are they not floaters?If I went to missoula and stood on a bridge and some people came by on inner tubes,and one of them was wearing a pink boa,was a bodybuilder and was dressed in drag and the lead tuber was carrying a gay pride flag and I yelled "Hey floaters" and waved could I be arrested?

I thought a "floater" referred to someone that provokes an argument between 2 opposing sides, but does not 'choose a side'.

I was unaware of the gay reference.. I really need to expand my horizons! Thanks Tucker for the schoolin'

On a side note: Is anyone else concerned that Kacey has stopped posting her always entertaining and informative opinion on this thread? I'm going to have to swing by Darby's house, and see if she's got the place surrounded with her camo clad vigilantes

Come and listen to my story ‘bout a seed named Jett

A poor grammateer never used paragraph indent.

But then one day while heading to walmart

He stopped as he saw a pal blow a pup apart.


“Not for food. Not for sport. For meanness.”



Well the next thing you know ol Jett’s a defender

The kinfolk said Jett, what ya think you’re doin’ here?

They said you don’t know what you’re a babbling over

Now you’re caught up in what the heck is a floater?


“Flush it Jett. Down the terlit Jett.”



Well it’s past time to say goodbye to Jett and hope he goes

Although as to what he accomplished no one knows

But maybe one day when he comes back he will learn

How easy it is to use the carriage return…



“Enter key, that is. Makes a space. Real easy…
Give it a try now, ya hear?”

FH

goddamn. where is the like button when you need it?

Hardy har har.

Mercy Frank, ditto on Bridger!!!!

THAT was Awesome Mr. Hardy! Procreateing awesome!

I think that was the finest post I ever read on this site.

I bow to your greatness, Mr. Hardy, a modern day bard.

I am reading this entire post and you know whom I am hurt the most for in this entire issue? THE Mama DOG and the PUP's! They were the innocent creatures in this whole MESS! I wish Mr. Vosler would of found it in his heart to at least call Brian Certain at animal control and given them a chance...!!! I don't know how anyone looks into the eyes of a innocent dog with pups and shoots them all??? Whether they were to be there or not....it was not the fault of the animals! Poor animals always have to pay for not being taken care of properly....in the end of this SICK story....sounds like NO ONE did right by the innocent dog and pups! Sounds like these owners were having issues...why not have fixed your sweet Dog and have to deal with bringing pups into this world a long with dealing with bringing a baby of your own into the world and no place for the Dog/pups to go??? This just makes me MAD at everyone involved...sounds like sweet Cali deserves the justice here!

I appreciate everything u had to say, and u are right. I blame myself completly for her not being with me. I had never left her ever, she got pregnant while me and my husband where in billings. I was in hospital, and then had baby. She had been with a close friends and there dog got to her. Anyways thank u for seeong the poiint

Well Amorette works for the newspaper.If there is a police report she can post it.There has been nothing but gossip here until such is posted.Several here make fun of me for just asking for proof.If there is proof then it changes from gossip in to actual events.Such as a police report being filed to back what is said here up.Anyone can actually as it is public record.One here even made up a little diddy about my asking questions.It seems you are not supposed to ask questions about anything that happened,just pass on the gossip.I thought about a reply to Mr.Hardy and then thought something serious happened here.If this happened it seems there was a locked house and someone got in to the house one way or another and killed a dog and numerous pups.Mr.Hardy and co. are yayyyy,noone should ask qustions.Mr.Hardy and co. I guess are funny in their own little way.

Its all true...

People have rights. Police reports are not instantly public knowledge. As I found out when a drunk hit my car, and had the car right there, the police would not give me the driver's info until I filled out a need to know form. That form has specific reasons that they can give you information, such as needing it to file a legal action.

Plain old John Doe does not have the right to just walk in and ask for a copy.

You're friends Jett...have you asked him if he was arrested or charged?

Every time I think I miss the peace, quiet and good-neighborliness of living in a small town, I return to MilesCity.com.

Thank god all I have to worry about these days are good ol' straightforward and honest drive-by shootings.

Oh = Frank Hardy - that was an epic post. Grammy-worthy lyrics!

Actually Kacey you do have a right to a police report.They may tell you that you do not and refuse to give it to you but they are in the wrong.I think it is in Article 2 and 3 of the Montana Constitution but do not quote me.If it is paid for by tax dollars they have to have a good reason to not give it to you.I will not explain the law on this one.Look it up.Under the Montana Constitution you do not even have to be a citizen or probably even in the USA legally and you have a right to this information.I did a carriage return and therefore did not name drop.Actually I did not even know I had a carriage.If you contact the Montana Secretary of State office they will send you a free copy of the Montana Constitution which is still being written by the courts today.As a resident of Montana you should know your rights and protect and expand your rights to the limit of the law.Too many people accept policy or what they are told for the law.
Darby is not my friend.Maybe somehow it looks like I am his friend but I am not.My opinion of Darby is irrelevant to anything I have posted here.My posts here are fueled by the damage gossip can do and demonstrating that if someone gossips most people are glad to pass it along as the truth.To my knowledge there has not been a single witness to any of these events that has posted here.No dogs being shot,no one breaking in to a house,no newspaper articles,no law enforcement reports,Darby it seems has not been arrested.Maybe he learned from his hunting expedition.I doubt he would be stupid enough to show cops the corpses,but if there were dogs they went someplace even if he gave them to someone.
I had a reply Mr.Hardy but decided not to post.I figger someone might not like all of the humor and I need to go clean the cement pond.

JETT..you are ignorant. I have just dealt with this. If you think you're right just march your ass down there and tell them you want a copy of the police report. Then you post it on here. Run on down...we're all waiting with baited breath.

here ya go Jett:

For a fee this website will tell you some about your buddy.

Kacey
You have just dealt with this? How? Let me guess you dealt with this by agreeing with what someone told you.You did not deal with policy or anything else,just agreed to something that someone told you.Don`t think,just listen and do as you are told.Did you do any research? Did you review the Montana Constitution? Did you do anything other than just agree with what you were told? Did you contact an attorney? All I see that you have done is mouth off. As far as marching goes you can just march your head even farther up your a$$ as I do not work for you and I do not even want to think about smelling your breath and trying to guess in my nightmares what last thing was in that mouth and what that smell is. A suggestion. Use the energy that you put in to your mouth and hook it to your feet and amble your crainial rectosis self over to an elected official and demand access to public records. Ask them why something that is paid for by tax dollars is being kept a secret. Explain your medical condition and do not leave until they give you access. File suit in District Court. The merits of non disclosure must outweigh the public`s right to know. Have Allison help you as her employer is actually represented by the Treiwieller law firm. She may not be aware of this. I am willing to help Allison a bit on this as I have worked in this area before. Kacey,next time you call someone ignorant you should make sure you can wipe the image off of the mirror you are looking in before you use that term again.

It does appear that initial arrest or offense reports are considered public record. There are exceptions in sexual assault crimes and investigative information is not public, of course.

Nothing will come of this. The folks won't do anything the last thing they want are cops around and they dont' want to draw attention to themselves that would hurt business...

Well Hummmnnn Doggy. Wendy you appears to be maybe even smarter than `ol Duke.

Liz Myers- I just wanted to say I am broken hearted for your loss. I can tell you did love your dog very much and your reply to me was very mature---unlike many of these people on here wanting to fight over everything EXCEPT the REASON this post was even written???

I hope this all gets investigated and there will be justice for Cali and her pups!

I don't know any of the above people talked about in this post--if they were good renters, bad renters, drug dealers...etc! I don't know the landlord and what the truth is with him...BUT, no matter WHAT, the mama dog and pups did not deserve any of this---and, whomever did this horrible act...needs to pay!

Like most, I am against cruelty to animals and to people. Everyone should have their pets spayed/neutered. And after reading some of the threads on this site, thinking we might also encourage it with our friends and relatives.

Replying to mckee here:

I am also a land lord and legally i can not dispose of the renters property that was left until after a year, he had no right to touch their property and no right to put on my friends property. He is a sob and is the same one that shot out of season the long horned sheep a few years ago, nothing done to him then either I was told.

Maybe you knew this, but your obligation as a landlord is to make a "reasonable attempt" to provide written notice to your former tenant that the property will be disposed of. After at least 10 days, if they don't respond, it's trash. If they do respond, but don't deal with the property within 7 days of their response, it's trash. Refer to http://leg.mt.gov/bills/m...24-430.htm

There's a surprising amount of FUD in this thread. No, a landlord cannot enter your home without notification or consent unless there is an emergency. Even if you do not pay your rent, they cannot forcibly evict you without due process. Even if the home is being unacceptably maintained, or even trashed, they cannot evict you without notice and they cannot enter the home unless it is actually on fire. Landlord or not, someone entering your home without justification or consent is considered criminal trespass at a minimum.

Tenants have obligations as well; to keep the property in good condition, to communicate deficiencies with the landlord, to follow any reasonable rules set by the landlord, etc. Simply paying the rent doesn't mean you can do whatever you like with the property.

Please, read for yourself - http://leg.mt.gov/bills/m.../70_24.htm . We don't have to speculate about the legality of these things; if they happened, then the parties involved have legal recourse.

Anyway, I'm new here. I've been watching the forum for a while for info on rentals or homes for sale after getting a job in MC this spring. I'm glad to see the info in this thread. The commute from Glendive isn't great, but it sounds better than what some landlords have to offer.

Wendy's link says what I said.

Right of Privacy -Article II, section 10 provides that:
“The right of individual privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and shall not be infringed without the showing of a compelling state interest.”

You have to have a personal need to see the reports or you cannot see them. You have to fill out a form requesting the report and the reason why you feel you have a right to access the report. You cannot simply be curious!
