Cops & Courts: Woman with taser arrested after disturbance at social club

Feb 6, 2024 | belgrade-news.com | Karen Davis

Belgrade resident Joshua Jeremiah Savage, 48, was initially stopped Jan. 30 because a Montana Highway Patrol trooper randomly ran his license plate and his Audi came back as stolen. He had pulled into a Town Pump, and told the trooper that he indeed was the car's owner, and he was at the station to meet his ex-wife and son. Turns out, he has a permanent restraining order forbidding just that, unless a third party is present and the visit was on a certain day. Neither condition was met, police said.

Reporter's Notebook: Happy Birthday to Us

Jan 29, 2024 | belgrade-news.com | Karen Davis

For me, the moment was in the 7th grade. My school was on a field trip to the local newspaper. I stood in the gallery above the giant presses, rumbling as they ran off that day's First Draft of History, intoxicated by the smell of ink and paper and the overwhelming roar and clatter of this business that is so much more than a business. I thought I would faint. kAmx H2D ;FDE 2 <:5[ 3FE x H2D :?
