The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office took a report of two men smoking marijuana in a Corvette while driving down Idaho Street. The report was transferred to Kalispell police.

A caller warned that four or five people loitering at the end of White Birch Lane might be partying. The responding deputy found that it was a group of skateboarders.

Dispatch located and called the owner of a car that was left on a muddy Battle Ridge Drive. He was given five days to move the vehicle. Deputies couldn’t place a sticker on the abandoned car due to the “amount of mud.”

A driver came across a branch sitting in the middle of U.S. 2 West. Instead of moving it, the motorist called the Sheriff’s Office and asked deputies to respond because it could “startle someone.”

The music coming from a U.S. 93 South residence had been loud for days, according to a neighbor. Deputies met the suspected noise offenders and found that they didn’t own a stereo.

A woman told dispatch that her husband drove off and left her at a U.S. 2 East business with her child. She then hung up because a deputy wouldn’t take her to Missoula.


The Whitefish Police Department had a bicycle-heavy day. Two people reported separate stolen bikes, while another reportedly found a “very nice kids’ bike” on Waverly Place.

Police confirmed that a burglary alarm on East Seventh Street was false. They were familiar with the place because it was the 18th false alarm this year.

Officers were unable to find a woman who was reported to be drunk and trying to get into a closed Spokane Avenue business. Police talked to a woman walking nearby, but she was not the suspect.


A woman called the Columbia Falls Police Department from a Nucleus Avenue business. She said she knew who had thrown a rock through her windshield but didn’t want to say over the phone.


The Kalispell Fire Department reported flooding inside a Fifth Avenue West property.


The Lake County Sheriff’s Office made an arrest on Mountain Estates Drive following an apparent vehicle theft.

With help from the Polson Police Department, Lake County deputies arrested someone for criminal contempt near 15th Avenue East.


After running into a car, a driver ran away because he had warrants, according to a report. The driver of the other vehicle called the Kalispell Police Department and told them that the man just took off on foot along U.S. 93 North. Police found the man and placed him under arrest.

A guy reportedly stole a tip jar from a Heritage Way business and fled on foot.

Five people were suspected to be smoking pot near 10th Street East. The caller warned that one of the males has been “fairly vulgar with his language.”

One caller was distressed to see someone “using a pole with flames on either end” near Sixth Street West. There was no further explanation.
