Kalispell police

Alcohol seemed to be the source of much mischief Saturday and Sunday. Kalispell police were busy with problem pedestrians, teenagers and adults.

Four apparent teenage drinking buddies were arrested for allegedly possessing alcohol or intoxicants at O'Neil Printers. Two of the boys were 15 and two were 16.

Perhaps older does not mean wiser. An 18-year-old man was arrested on charges of possession of alcohol or intoxicants on Fifth Street West. A 22-year-old man apparently thought drinking and driving was a fine idea. He was arrested for alleged DUI and DUI per se and a host of other charges. A 31-year-old man reportedly pulled the same kind of stunt and was arrested on charges of DUI on Meridian Road.

"When in doubt, or drunk, sleep under a sink," appeared to be one man's philosophy. A Red Lion employee found the man sleeping under the sink in the hotel's breakfast area. The man was sent to the lobby to sober up. Another alleged drunk was said to have found a warmer place to nap: in the sauna at the WestCoast Kalispell Center Mall Hotel. He was told not to return to that hotel, or to several others in the area.

Apparently alcohol and firings don't mix. A caller requested an officer to talk with a man at the Four Seasons Motor Inn who reportedly was harassing the reporting party. The caller said the man, a former employee, was drunk and not welcome at the inn.

Another caller said a former Kalispell Taxi Drivers employee was not taking his severance well. He reportedly was threatening his former coworkers.

Party goers disturbed a man on Fourth Street West. The alleged culprits told police they would quiet down, but a short while later the neighbor reported the people were harassing him. They agreed a second time to be quiet and apparently kept to their word.

Someone found toolboxes and a bike under bushes near the Outlaw Inn. Perhaps less lucky was the woman who found her phone number had been posted on vehicles along with notes saying she was responsible for denting the vehicles. She received phone calls from the note recipients, but it wasn't she who dented the cars or left the notes, she said.
