Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - On October 1, 2026, at around 5:12 PM, the Missoula Police Department provided a statement about a potential drug house. Police Public Information Officer Whitney Bennett had the details. 

“In the early morning hours of September 30, 2026, the Missoula Police Department executed a search warrant at a residence in the 1800 block of Mount Avenue as part of an ongoing investigation,” Bennett said. “The department had received multiple reports and concerns regarding possible drug activity, other criminal activity, and activity involving juveniles associated with the location.”
