Kalispell police
Kalispell police were busy with misunderstandings and misinterpretations Thursday.
On Fifth Avenue East, someone was concerned about school children seeing a dead animal left on top of a fire hydrant; it turned out to be a burned Barbie doll. Reports of an assault at Lamplighter House were exaggerated: A man there yelled at a woman and scared her. The group of people who aroused suspicion by photographing patrol cars behind the police station was just a photography class at work.
An unresponsive man was found in Lawrence Park. He was roused enough to say he didn't want medical attention.
A driver who was stopped on West Wyoming Street was charged with obstructing an officer, speeding and other violations. A man on 10th Avenue West was arrested on four warrants.
There is a suspect in a burglary on Second Avenue West, where $300 was taken.
A man called 911, sounding impaired, and hung up. When a dispatcher called him back to see whether he was O.K., it made him cranky.
Four people reportedly trashed a room at the Blue and White Motel.
On Ninth Avenue West, CDs and prescription drugs in a purse were reported stolen from a locked vehicle.
No one was hurt in an accident on West Reserve Drive and Stillwater Road on Thursday morning.
It's bad enough that a man is living in a vehicle near a business on Eighth Avenue West North, but customers really don't want to watch him change clothes there, a woman said.
Threats were reported on Fifth Avenue East.
