Looks like a plea deal for 26-year old Dylan Austin Olson of Hungry Horse, who was charged with deliberate homicide in the death of 30-year old David Bollman last February. That charge appears to be abandoned, making Bollman’s death a negligent homicide charge. The plea deal puts that charge together with burglary for thefts in Coram and West Glacier.
Olson has pled guilty to stealing about $85,000 worht of items from the Green Valley Lodge in Coram. He’s also pleading guilty to accountability to burglary stealing several items, including 3-vehicles from the Glacier Raft Company.
Add it all up, and he’ll spend the majority of the next 25-years in prison. In addition, he’ll pay a little over $3,500 in restitution to the Crime Victim Compensation Fund. Olson has been in the Flathead County Detention Center on $500,000 bond.
On the night of February 28th, Olson is said to have greeted Bollman at the door and then shot him point-blank.
Here’s where things get murky. Olson told Deputies he shot Bollman in self-defense. He apparently believed Bollman was coming to his home to confront him. Olson said he remembered grabbing a shotgun and loading it with less than legal rounds.
