A Gillette man implicated in a shooting and on the loose since Tuesday was caught Saturday evening.

18-year-old Kamren Crousore is suspected in the Tuesday shooting of a 19-year-old man following an argument. Cowboy State Daily's Clair McFarland reports that Crousore's description and prior booking photo had been released by the Campbell County Sheriff's Office Thursday in an effort to find him, warning the public he was considered "armed and dangerous."

"This is a saga, because on like the 24th of February, Crousore was sentenced to a lengthy term of probation for some burglaries, multi county burglary with other youths, where they were car hopping, stealing things out of cars, and sometimes stealing cars, according to court documents. And so then, you know, days later, last Tuesday, he's implicated in this shooting, and he's left in a vehicle. They later find the vehicle without him in it, and then he's on the run for like, four or five days. So … for the suspect, it wasn't just a four day saga, it was closer to a 10 day, two week saga."

Officials say Crousore was caught at an "unspecified residence" after "many hours of dedicated investigative work" by the department in cooperation with other area law enforcement agencies. Campbell County Undersheriff Quentin Reynolds confirmed that Crousore did not turn himself in, but no standoff unfolded.

A partially built three-story home on McDonald Creek inside Glacier National Park was spared the wrecking ball by a federal judge last month, and those who believe it was illegally built continue the fight to tear it down.

It's a case that's drawn national attention, according to Cowboy State Daily's David Madison.

"A federal judge affirmed their right to build in in the park on this private inholding. But it appears that they slip through some kind of loophole, because the federal judge says, You Glacier Park have jurisdiction over the construction of structures in the park, but the Park did nothing to regulate the construction of this place. It was built without permits. It's somehow no one at the park will tell me how, but it's somehow connected to the local sewer and water system that's controlled by the park. But the critics are correct when they say… somehow this house got built inside Glacier Park without a single permit."

Few sources involved in the litigation want to speak to the press, leaving more questions than answers about what's next for a home built without permits right on the banks of an iconic stream.

With construction on an $800 million, 715,000-square-foot Meta data center underway in south Cheyenne, and similar projects coming soon, farmers in eastern Laramie County worry there won't be enough water left for them.

However, Cheyenne Mayor Patrick Collins told Cowboy State Daily's Mark Heinz that the city has been assured that the Meta data center and forthcoming projects won't use too much
