It was Bad Drivers Night in Kalispell on Saturday.

| December 5, 2005 1:00 AM

Kalispell police made a traffic stop just before midnight and charged two men, ages 24 and 25, with possession of dangerous drugs, DUI, resisting arrest, having no valid driver's licenses, no proof of insurance and speeding.

There's a blue Ford pickup out there, possibly damaged, which hit another driver on First Avenue East and drove off to the south. The injured driver was bleeding and reported stomach problems.

A large black pickup probably also is showing damage after tailgating, passing and then cutting off another vehicle on Third Avenue East North. The truck hit the vehicle on the passenger side, likely damaging its own driver's side.

A driver in a blue mini-van was "all over the road," driving on the wrong side of Meridian Road, then continuing the recklessness after turning east on Idaho.

A group of youths first were reported spinning brodies in the Best Buy parking lot, then were suspected of theft there.

Rude hand gestures from a pickup driver were in abundance as he wove in and out of traffic near the courthouse loop on Main Street.

A woman called police when four or five people broke into her house and beat up on another person there, then went outside and beat on the windows. A couple days earlier she was beaten by a man involved in the melee, and was afraid he would return.

There was a large fight and some bleeding at Scotty's Bar, and another fight in the Outlaw Inn parking lot near the laundromat.

Don't drive up a dark road and get stuck in the snow after you've been drinking. That's what a 23-year-old man learned when a neighbor heard his revving engine and police filed a DUI charge.

Snowcatting was a problem on Greatview Drive, at least for one irritated neighbor.

The party broke up at a local hotel when two boys and a woman were charged with underage possession of alcohol.

'Tis the season, apparently: Christmas decorations were vandalized on North View Loop. On Garland, they weren't damaged, but they were rearranged.

Mystery at the Bright Side Laundry: Tipped-over concrete barriers, a bit of blood, a ball cap and an abandoned car.

A DeWalt stereo charger, three-speed hammer drill and two batteries were reported stolen from a vehicle.

It scared the neighbor to see boys walking on the "softly frozen pond" at Dry Bridge Park Sunday afternoon.
