Clark Avenue residents in Billings ready to welcome thousands of trick-or-treaters on Halloween

BILLINGS, Mont. — While trunk-or-treats and organized Halloween events give families across Montana more ways to celebrate, one Billings neighborhood is keeping the traditional door-to-door experience alive. Clark Avenue is once again preparing to welcome thousands of trick-or-treaters Saturday night. For the residents who live there, making the night happen takes months of planning, thousands of pieces of candy and hundreds of dollars. Ross and Kari Davidson are among the many families preparing for the crowds. Their goal every Halloween is to have about 5,000 pieces of candy ready for trick-or-treaters. But with candy prices climbing nationwide, they’ve had to make a few adjustments this year. According to federal inflation data, the cost of candy and chewing gum increased 7.7% in September compared to the same time last year. “I aim for 5,000 pieces of candy.

Licensed counselor in Billings sentenced for Medicaid fraud

HELENA, Mont. – A licensed professional counselor in Billings was sentenced to spend three years in prison and repay $600,000 for years of fraudulent Medicaid bills related to sessions that “did not occur,” the Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced. A judge found her guilty on October 22 and sentenced her for “Medicaid fraud” and “making a false claim to a public agency.” Her crimes were connected to actions between January 2022 and September 2025, when she billed Medicaid for sessions with “patients she never treated and for sessions that did not occur,” Knudsen wrote in a press release about her sentencing. She was sentenced to pay the state $603,719.66 in restitution and serve a 10-year suspended sentence after completing her three-year prison term at the Montana Women’s Prison. She is also excluded from billing any federal health insurance program for the length of the sentence.
