Scotte Bryan News Today

Struggling with a shortage of attorneys, the Flathead County Attorney’s Office received approval last week to draw on the state Department of Justice for help prosecuting a trio of homicide cases.

The victim, 60-year-old Scott Bryan, was from Eureka, Montana.

Bryan, 60, was from Eureka and had most recently been a tenant at the former Vacationer Motel in Kalispell, according to intake paperwork from the shelter.

The 19-year-old accused of beating a homeless man to death in Kalispell last month is free from the county jail after a known white supremacist with deep ties to Flathead Valley put up property to help cover his $500,000 bail.

Four days after a homeless man was allegedly murdered in Kalispell, advocates for the homeless and community members appealed to the Flathead County commissioners on Thursday seeking condemnation of reported acts of violence against homeless people.

Mayor Mark Johnson and several members of Kalispell City Council on Monday backed the idea of creating an advisory council focused on the community’s unhoused residents following the murder of a homeless man over the weekend.

Several dozen of Kalispell’s homeless residents gathered at the Flathead Warming Center on Monday to remember Scott E. Bryan, a homeless man who authorities say was murdered early Sunday morning.

Prosecutors have brought Kaleb Elijah Fleck up on a deliberate homicide charge for the murder of a homeless man over the weekend, alleging in court documents that the 19-year-old Kalispell resident admitted to the fatal assault.
