LAW ROUNDUP: No recourse over public potty break?

| January 20, 2016 7:17 PM

Kalispell Police fielded a call from a woman who was unhappy with what officers had to say when they responded to her residence on Santa Fe Street because her neighbor’s boys had urinated all over her lawn the previous evening.

An officer separated a man and woman who were in an altercation alongside U.S. 93. The man allegedly had a meth pipe and had threatened to beat and kill the woman. He allegedly had punched the woman the night before.

A message was sent to federal probation supervisors after a call about a man carrying a drunk man carrying a gun on Airport Road led to a registered sex offender who was in possession of a .22 rifle.

Officers took a 15-year-old boy to the emergency room for help after he allegedly threw things through a window on Barron Way, tried to gain access to knives, and yelled at other people in the home.


A Flathead County Sheriff’s deputy logged a report after someone came in to report being witness to a murder in Coram in October. The person said he or she knew who the shooter was, but not the victim. The person calling had been flagged during previous interactions with law enforcement as possibly having mental health issues.

A deputy was unable to locate a transient man who was told he was no longer welcome at someone’s home, but was found in the home without permission. The person who lived at the residence said the transient yelled at him or her before the man took off.

A business on U.S. 2 in Columbia Falls asked for help in getting a man and woman to stop hanging out in the parking lot. The worker thought the man might be doing drug deals in the parking lot in between his visits to the establishment’s restroom. The woman was described as a pregnant “crackhead.”

A woman called from East Edgewood Drive in Whitefish to report that a washing machine had been stolen from her property.


Whitefish Police responded to East Seventh Street, where a man said that he thought his neighbors might have taken his key fob so that they could continue setting off his car alarm without permission. An officer flagged the man as possibly mentally disturbed.


Columbia Falls Police helped a woman get her things from her residence after she was upset because her husband had allegedly threatened her with a gun. The threat had not occurred on the same day police were called.
