The Darby, Montana Marshal's Office is offering a unique Valentine's Day special - if you have an ex-partner with an active warrant, you can call the office and they will provide a "free ride" to the county detention center, along with a complimentary Valentine's Day meal. The tongue-in-cheek initiative is the Bitterroot Valley town's way of celebrating the holiday in an efficient, no-nonsense manner.
Why it matters
The Darby Marshal's Office's Valentine's Day special highlights the close-knit, pragmatic nature of small-town law enforcement in rural Montana. Rather than traditional romantic gestures, the office is leaning into the community's familiarity with one another to help clear outstanding warrants in a humorous way.
The details
According to the Darby Marshal's Facebook page, residents are encouraged to call the office at (406) 821-3753 if they have an ex-partner with an active warrant. The office will then provide a "free ride" to the Ravalli County Detention Center, along with a complimentary Valentine's Day meal - described as sounding "less like a police statement and more like an ad for a spa day."
- The Darby Marshal's Office announced the Valentine's Day special on February 13, 2026.
