In what may be an example of extreme cautiousness, a man called the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office to report his suspicions about two young adults driving an old Cadillac. He stated the two males were taking a “drag” off the same cigarette, so he thought it was not a cigarette. He also thought the car was too nice for the people driving, so it must be stolen. The plates were run through the police department, and the car has not been reported as stolen. 

Law officers received a call stating a “small miniature black horse” was near West Reserve Drive. 

The dispatch received a call saying that two dogs were “at large, running loose” on the trail to Logan Lake and Finger Lake. The reporter said both dogs were very skinny. 

A man called to report a dog that is barking “all the time” near his home on Whitefish Trail. He said it has been happening for months, and the dog barks for hours at a time. He does not know where the dog lives. 

A man called to report five of his storage units on United Drive were broken into during the night, with the locks cut off them. He did not know if anything was stolen, as he had called police first. 

A report stated that a neighbor’s “hybrid wolf dog” killed a woman’s miniature wiener dog on Leah Ann Lane. 

A woman called to report marijuana was being “served” to a minor in Hungry Horse. 

A call complained a logging truck was driving erratically, swerving across the road on Ninth Street West in Columbia Falls. The caller said the truck driver had a blinker on, but never turned, and the Idaho license plate was unreadable due to dirt. 

A woman reported she woke up last week to find the passenger window of her car smashed at her home on West Lakeshore Drive in Whitefish. Her doors were unlocked, and nothing was reported missing. 

A call reported a young male who appeared to be “about 10 years old” hitchhiking along the U.S. 93, south of Whitefish. The parents were eventually located. 

Two pit bulls were reporting “menacing” alpacas at a home on Conrad Drive in Kalispell. The alpacas were behind a fence, but the reporting party was afraid the dogs would jump the fence because the dogs were “very aggressive.” The dogs eventually ran off and could not be located. 

Three young children were reported playing on ice on a river in Kalispell. The caller was concerned about how safe and thick the ice was. An officer located the children’s mother, and found they were playing on private property, and the mother had previously deemed the ice safe. 

A caller found a brown corduroy purse on her property on Gary Hawk Court in Kalispell. There was no identification, but there  were some pills next to the purse.

A caller heard eight shots in rapid succession near Eagle Bend Drive in Bigfork, and believed it was coming from the golf course. While on the phone, they heard two more. The caller said they weren’t familiar with guns, but they believe it was a shotgun. 

Whitefish Police Department received a report from a downtown bar’s security officer that a male urinated on a set of stairs. 

An apartment resident on Denver Street called to report the couple who lived above him sounded like they were “throwing each other around,” and the noise had been going on for 20 minutes. Police arrived on scene and made contact with the female tenant. Officers deemed the lower resident may have mistaken a phone conversation the female was having for a disturbance. 

A man called Columbia Falls Police Department to report there are people living in the camper in the alley behind his next door neighbor’s house on Third Street West, and he had a few questions about the situation. 

A woman called to report that someone had picked her prescription medicine up from the store on Nucleus Avenue without permission.
