Customer 'freaked out' by purple bike

The Kalispell Police Department received a report that a man rode up to a grocery store on a purple bicycle carrying an empty backpack and wearing what might have been a “blue holiday beanie.” A customer felt “freaked out” by this individual and reported he had “run into a lot of these types of people in California.” He suspected the bike-riding man might go into the bathroom and “shoot up drugs,” so he asked an officer to check on him.

A female shoplifter was apparently also acting “noncompliant” when store employees tried to stop her from shoplifting. She reportedly “ran away.”

A man was seen in a store parking lot with “a quiver of bows and a very large bow.” He apparently “completed his shopping and left” and employees in the store were satisfied.
