Kalispell police

Kalispell police officers investigated an attempted fraud at a bank on Main Street. A woman tried to cash a check she had altered to $2,300, but an alert teller noticed and kept her identification card. The person who issued the check didn't want to press charges but asked the bank to shred the check.

A young man was witnessed breaking flowers at Glacier Bank on Main Street by a customer who described him as having dirty blond hair and acting under the influence of something.

Just a few minutes earlier, three blond young men about 12 years old were reported trashing rooms and both swimming pools at the Outlaw Inn. They were gone when officers arrived.

A resident on Parkway Drive complained that people keep driving over his fresh sod, leaving 8-inch tracks in the lawn. Apparently, drivers come from a church property then cut across his property, leaving an unholy mess.

Officers also responded to a complaint from a construction worker who was threatened with bodily harm from a driver in a red Ford Explorer. The man ignored a road closure on North Meridian and wanted to fight when the construction worker told him to turn around.

Police officers counseled some youngsters after a woman reported that they had jumped in front of her car near the downtown post office and screamed at her. The pranksters followed the officers' advice to move along.

An employee at a Kalispell Center Mall store reported that his boss grabbed him by his jacket and assaulted him at work. The incident is under investigation.

Someone finally called the police department after an alarm on a Main Street business sounded for about an hour. Officers found the strong smell of beer near the entry and both doors unlocked but no suspects.
