Over the past several days, there have been multiple crashes in the area of Hwy 93 and Tronstad Rd. Many involve vehicles making left turns in front of oncoming traffic on Hwy 93. The same is true of other crashes that have occurred around the valley. With traffic picking up for the summer season, please plan your trips to account for the increased time it will take, to get to your destination, wear your seatbelt, slow down and be a responsible driver. The life you save by not being in a rush could be your own, your family, your friends, your neighbor or other resident of our community.

This crash involved a south bound vehicle making a left turn in front of one of our Deputies headed north bound on their way to work.

On behalf of the Flathead County Deputy Sheriff's Association, we extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Detective Mark Mulcahy for his 35 plus years of unwavering service, dedication, and commitment in Law Enforcement to the citizens of the Flathead Valley and communities throughout Montana. Throughout his distinguished law enforcement career, including 20 years with the Kalispell Police Department and 13 years with the Flathead County Sheriff's Office, he served with honor, integrity, and an unwavering sense of duty.

During his tenure with the Kalispell Police Department, he served as a Patrol Officer, Motor Patrol Officer, Detective, SWAT Operator, and Patrol Sergeant. He then continued his service with the Flathead County Sheriff's Office as a Patrol Deputy, Commander of the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force and finished his career as a Detective. In every assignment, he brought experience, dedication, and a tireless work ethic that strengthened each office and set an example for those who had the privilege of serving alongside him. His service with Search and Rescue as both a snowmobile and boat operator further demonstrated his willingness to answer the call whenever and wherever needed.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to his family for their unwavering support, understanding, and countless sacrifices made throughout his career. Their strength and encouragement made his many years of service possible, and we are deeply grateful for all they have given.

On behalf of the Flathead County Deputy Sheriff's Association and the citizens you have faithfully served and protected, thank you for your extraordinary career, your steadfast dedication, and your enduring service. May you enjoy a long, healthy, and well-deserved retirement with the satisfaction of knowing you have made a profound difference in the lives of so many.

Rest easy, Mark the Shark. We have the watch from here. God Bless.

Media release from the Flathead County Sheriff's Office:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On June 13, 2026, at approximately 2:50 a.m., the Flathead County Sheriff's Office received a report regarding an unresponsive male found at a gathering in Flathead County.

According to the preliminary investigation, a large party involving numerous juveniles and young adults had taken place earlier in the evening. Several individuals reported locating an adult male in a grassy area near the gathering. The male appeared highly intoxicated, was shivering, and was unresponsive to efforts to improve his condition.

Individuals at the scene moved the male closer to a fire for warmth and later attempted to transport him to meet emergency medical personnel. During transport, it was reported that the male lost signs of life, and CPR was initiated until emergency responders arrived and assumed care.

The male was transported for further examination. An autopsy is being conducted, and investigators reported no obvious external traumatic injuries other than minor scratches.

The investigation remains active. Detectives are continuing to interview witnesses and review evidence to determine the circumstances leading up to the incident. At this time, no conclusions regarding the cause or manner of death have been made.
