Truck fire might be arson

The Kalispell Fire Department was called at 2:30 a.m. Thursday for a truck fire in the 300 block of Second Avenue East. Smoke and flames were coming from the passenger area and the engine compartment of a Chevy S-10. Officials suspected the fire may have been deliberately set. Anyone with information should call detective Sgt. Brian Fulford at the Police Department at 758-7793.

Kalispell police refereed a number of disputes between neighbors. One was on Second Street West, where a neighbor complained that he put his dog out for a bathroom break and a neighbor put his pet in a car for the night.

At the Rosebriar Inn, a man reportedly beat on doors, looking for alcohol. He was sent back to his own room.

The noise from neighbors above sounded "like a herd of animals" according to a complaint on Eighth Avenue West. It was drums making unwelcome noise on Seventh Avenue East.

A resident on Fourth Avenue East complained of a downstairs neighbor harassing and threatening her. The man later called police to see whether he was going to be arrested. He was, on warrants.

A disturbance on Seventh Avenue West was about personal property. After a dispute between a man and a woman on North Belmar, both were arrested on charges of drugs and paraphernalia possession. Another dispute on First Avenue West resulted in a cut to a man's head. A man reportedly beat a woman in the parking lot at Finnegan's.

On a truck on College Avenue were spray-painted the words, "Rats don't live long around here." An apartment building on Third Avenue East was tagged with the words, "Meth dealer."
