Every so often, we look at the people behind the stories, as we did this week with this feature about some of the more unusual features of the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office. Tom Bauer’s photo gives [...] The things you learn covering this beat. For instance, an “AB agent in the federal pen” apparently refers to a high-ranking member of the Aryan Nations group within the federal prison system. We gleaned that nugget from this story by the Missoulian’s Keila Szpaller, about an arrest on drunk driving charges that quickly [...] The Missoula County Sheriff’s Department has been getting a lot of national exposure lately.

The fire was reported just before 8 a.m. Friday morning on Deer Creek road about 4 miles past the Deer Creek Shooting Range, according to Missoula County Sheriff’s Detective Jason Johnson. The couple had returned Friday morning to their Chevy Blazer, which they’d left there two days earlier, and saw the Blazer burning and a green SUV leaving the area, he said. Deputies stopped a green SUV and detained its two occupants, Antonio Robinson, 28, and Chelsea Chafee, 25. A tent, boots and reloading equipment that had been in the victims’ Blazer were found in the green SUV, he said. Robinson and Chaffee were being held in the Missoula County Detention Center.

They’re missing in Deer Creek In fairness, we have to point out that the actions by an 80-year-old pharmacist at Lolo Drug are ill-advised. Which doesn’t keep us from also feeling really, really good about the way things turned out. An 80-year-old Lolo pharmacist who once wrestled a gun away from a would-be robber foiled another heist Thursday [...] We had a lot of fun talking to these Missoula County deputies featured on National Geographic TV’s “Frontier Force: Montana” show for this Missoulian story.

[...] Law enforcement officers are fond of reminding the public that real police work isn’t anything like what you see on TV. Except when it is.

Last month, Sheriff’s Detective Jason Johnson represented Missoula County – not to mention Montana, and all of the United States – on Special Olympics World Summer Games torch run in Greece. He spent two weeks there, running the torch in relays around western Greece and in Athens. He’s been back [...] Missoula County Sheriff’s Capt. Rich Maricelli and Detective T.J. McDermott say they were just doing their jobs when they helped crack an 18-year-old cold case involving the murder of a young Navy sailor.
