Search Warrant Served on Belgrade Residence

In the morning hours of March 12, 2023, the joint Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office/Bozeman Police Department Special Response Team (SRT) assisted by members of Belgrade Police Department, Montana Highway Patrol, Montana State University Police Department, Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office, Bozeman Police Department, and the Missouri River Drug Task Force (MRDTF) served a warrant on a Dakota Street residence in Belgrade. The operation was part of an ongoing investigation led by MRDTF.

SRT used distraction devices, vehicle PA systems, and other forms of electronic communication to contact the occupants of the residence. All members of the residence were eventually safely secured. No one was injured and no shots were fired during the incident. The residence was secured shortly after 9 a.m. and turned over to detectives and patrol, who completed a search of the residence.

Local law enforcement would like to thank the Belgrade community for its continued support as we work together to keep our community safe.
