Kalispell police
It was a contentious night on Hilltop Avenue. First, the neighbors reportedly blared loud music; Kalispell police determined it was not loud. A hour later they reportedly still had loud music and were in the back yard bad-mouthing the police by way of a public address system; police said the yard was quiet, the music was off and the party was wrapping up. Three hours after that, it was a complaint that they were outside singing over the P.A. system; police had a good discussion with them and they turned off the music and went inside.
