Flathead County sheriff

| November 28, 2008 1:00 AM

Flathead County sheriff's deputies were called to an alleged domestic argument Wednesday night prompted by a husband coming home drunk and refusing his wife's orders to leave. Her daughter returned in the midst of the disagreement, went into false labor and needed transport to a hospital.

A person reportedly injured in a rollover Wednesday evening on Foothill Road refused an ambulance ride to a hospital.

An Amtrak official at the Whitefish depot said an assault during the train ride took place in Fargo, N.D. That's out of the county's jurisdiction so, as everything had settled down by then, deputies took no action.

County animal shelter workers called for a deputy to help calm down a riled-up dog situation in the lobby of the shelter.

After two women, reportedly highly intoxicated, got into a fight Wednesday evening in Hungry Horse, one of them went to a local tavern in her blue and red night clothes to call for deputies.

Somebody feared a dog near Montana 83 and Montana 35 by the Little Brown Church had been hit. Deputies found it left there with a bowl of food, so they took the pooch to the animal shelter.

Fish, Wildlife and Parks officers handled a property owner's complaint about illegal hunters on Blue Lake Lane north of Bigfork.

A strong gas or propane smell along East Evergreen Drive between Edgewood and Helena Flats sent NorthWestern Energy to check it out Thanksgiving morning.

Somebody reported a very thin horse headed north on South Ferndale Drive as a possible case of cruelty. The call was referred to Lake County.

In what the caller said was an ongoing problem, a neighbor on Foothills Glen shot a deer, but shot in the direction of the caller's house. Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials will handle it.

A rollover on Bigfork Stage Road ended in a 16-year-old boy with a hurt left but no need for a hospital Thursday afternoon.

Kalispell police

A Kalispell police officer was led on a foot chase in the area between South Main Street and Second Avenue West on Wednesday night after a man called to report somebody walked in his house and punched him. Police drove to the area and caught sight of the plaid-coat-clad man. The officer gave chase, eventually spotting an open door on a South Main Street home, but the alleged puncher eluded capture.

Not long after midnight, a man called to report a fight with his girlfriend, saying she hit him then ran to a nearby grocery store. The woman said the man was trying to kill her but, despite injuries, refused treatment. Police took her to the station where she got medical attention, and he was arrested on three outstanding warrants.

A man was arrested near the mall entrance after a store-reported theft Wednesday afternoon. A second man was ticketed in connection with obstructing an officer in the incident.

A woman reported her wallet with $200 and credit cards stolen near a salon. A man reported his $200 camera was stolen.

Howling from a dog outside a neighbor's house, where lights were on and video games were running but nobody was home, prompted a complaint. Police officers spotted a turkey thawing in the sink and saw the mail had been picked up, so they asked the animal warden to handle it. The owner later called to say she was home and the dog wasn't howling.

Standing in traffic flagging down cars was a bad idea for an apparently intoxicated woman Wednesday evening, so an officer gave her a ride to a west-side home.

Shortly after 2 a.m. a woman in a long white coat told another person she needed help, but refused his offer of assistance. Police couldn't find her.

A man was ticketed with failure to register as a sex offender.
