A man in a comic-book store was reportedly violent and drunk in violation of his parole. Costumed superheroes were unavailable to respond, but Kalispell Police had time.

A woman on Whitebark Lane called after she came home to all her potted plants being turned upside down. Some nearby construction workers said a young man and woman had come during the day to perform the horticultural hooliganism.

A woman called 911, but immediately hung up. Calls back found the woman was reportedly dodging bottles thrown by a woman she had a restraining order against. The caller was holding her child at the time, but both mother and child were uninjured. The woman allegedly throwing bottles had a very different story, saying she came out of a bathroom at a large store and the initial caller saw her and told her to “get out or I’ll kill you.”

A man walked out of a gas station with a case of beer he had not paid for and was headed to Woodland Park. The caller had video footage and was requesting officer assistance.

A man in a gray hoodie stole something from the automotive section of a store on First Avenue East North, and was chased down the street by an employee. The thief took off after being confronted in the parking lot, and managed to slip away into an alley.


The Columbia Falls Police Department responded to a physical disturbance on Second Avenue East. A man heard his neighbors fighting, which he had done before, but said this was worse than ever. The female half of the couple came to the caller’s house to ask him to call police before going back to her own residence. He heard a slap before calling police.

A man on U.S. 2 called about a suspicious pickup truck with two men inside he thought might have been stealing dirt from his property.

A woman on Ninth Street West called police to report her “soon-to-be” husband had taken her vehicle and was refusing to let her leave. he tried to break the bathroom door down and was heard yelling in the background. The very possibly “soon-to-be” convict was given a warning this time.
