Police take call about an aggressive ex

| September 29, 2014 8:00 PM

The Kalispell Police Department took a call from a woman on Liberty Street reporting her ex was banging on the doors and windows trying to get in to get the couple’s child. She fled from him as the two were living together in Washington and he just now found them. The caller said she would stay in the bathroom until it was safe.

A 10-year-old child shot another child in the stomach with an airsoft gun on Barron Way. The recipient of the pellet had an ugly mark, according to his mother, but she did not want to seek medical attention. Both parents were involved and were counseled by officers.

A caller on East Idaho Street said the car in front of her had at least seven children inside it and several of them did not appear to be restrained. She claimed it took a corner at such a high rate of speed that it temporarily was on two wheels.

Two teenage girls were in the backyard of a residence on Green Briar Drive and a concerned neighbor said he had never seen them before and did not know why they would be back there when no one else was. The girls took a ladder and began walking down the street with it.


The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office took a call from a concerned citizen who saw someone illegally dump trash along the side of a road. Among the trash was a person’s complete credit card statement and a dog that had been shot and killed.

A man on Dawn Drive in Columbia Falls claimed his neighbor assaulted him when he went to discuss the loud dog. He said the woman pushed and hit him and claimed she got it all on camera.

A woman on Swan River Road in Bigfork called about an odd young man who came to every day of her garage sale looking for “police stuff” to add to his collection. He came on Sunday as well, despite the signs being taken down and no stuff in the driveway. The woman was sure the young man wanted to hurt or rob her.


The Whitefish Police Department took a call from a woman on Woodland Place who claimed she heard the sounds of a loud fight from her neighbor’s house before she saw a woman with blood on her face stumble out to a vehicle and drive off. The man in the dispute called dispatch shortly thereafter, claiming his wife was trying to get him in trouble.

He said he was on probation and “doesn’t need this” expletive, including his wife drunkenly driving around. The woman came into the station to report the disturbance and the man was brought into the police station.

Two horses were out of their paddock on East Second Street and one appeared injured. The owner was contacted to come get her horses.

An intoxicated man came to a business on East Seventh Street and began asking about an employee no one knew. The reporting party said the man was suspicious and had dropped a crowbar when the caller first noticed him. Officers told him to move along.
