A Baker Avenue resident called police reporting a man “doing laps” in her neighborhood. She said he looked wobbly and wondered if he needed some help.

A woman went into a bar on Central Avenue to use the bathroom, and when she came out her vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner, was gone. She said her wallet and identification were in the backseat of the car.

A woman on East Fourth Street was concerned about a friend who sounded very faint on the phone. When officers contacted the man, all the facts they had been told about him were found to be incorrect.

A woman on First Avenue West called the Columbia Falls Police Department to report a man who was going around the neighborhood taking photos. She told him to leave or she would call the police. He said he was a photographer and just doing his job, but she said he only had a “point and shoot” camera so she didn’t believe him.

A caller on 11th Street West was getting ready for work in the morning when she looked out her window and saw a man sleeping in a field. Officers spoke to the man, who had several warrants for his arrest from various law enforcement agencies.
