Due to the inaccuracies of both the 10 Code list and Scanner Frequency List, I have decided to remove both of them from my site. They were becoming too much to maintain from a quality standpoint.
I apologize for any inconveniences caused by this.

More information added to Local Wanted List and Warrant List updated.
9/10/09 Suspect Arrested and is being charged with Murder.
Cascade County Attorney John Parker says murder suspect Mark Frantzich was a tenant in the apartment building where the shooting and standoff occurred. The victim Lence Kent Mortensen was his landlord. Mortensen was from Idaho Falls, Idaho but came to Great Falls this past weekend to check on his properties and take care of some business, which included evicting the suspect.
Parker said, “There was an eviction proceeding underway and we understand that made Frantzich very angry. The suspect told the Great Falls police that the victim had knocked on his door and then the suspect by his own account followed him downstairs and killed him with a handgun.”
Frantzich was formally charged with deliberate homicide Tuesday. Court documents say Mortenson was busy cleaning his property when he was shot several times, at least once in the head.
