Warm bubble baths or meth lab?

An apartment-dweller told the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office she believed her upstairs neighbors “might be cooking meth.” She said the person who lives above her is always very quiet, but she can hear the neighbor walking around at 1 a.m. When the neighbor’s boyfriend visits, the power apparently spikes and they reportedly unload all their hot water into the bathtub. Law enforcement reported “the complaints do not sound like anything related to drug activity.”

A man claimed his wife slashed his tires and he was stranded at a bar.

A woman was told someone had put a “$2,000 hit on her head.” Law enforcement told her to lock her doors and block the number that had sent her the threatening message.

A house-sitter suspected someone of going through other people’s vehicles and reported the suspicious character had “something black in his hand.” He followed the driver until he became worried the person knew he was following him. It turned out the black object was a hat the person wears for his job.

A man was concerned about a woman who was pulled over on the side of the road. She told him she was all right but he felt “something didn’t seem right.” Law enforcement checked with the woman, who was apparently fine and said she would move the vehicle shortly.

Someone called law enforcement because multiple mailboxes were completely empty. It wasn’t clear that anyone had stolen anything out of the mailboxes and there were no obvious tracks in the area.

A woman was bitten by a 200-pound dog and then the dog was apparently shot. The dog reportedly lived and was taken by animal control.

A car was broken into, but instead of stealing anything the people who broke in left behind a few items, including their gloves and cigarettes.

A father claimed a store illegally sold his son a pellet gun and then his son got in trouble when he took the weapon to school. Law enforcement informed the father there are no laws against pellet guns in Montana and he had been misinformed by information he found online.

Would-be thieves apparently tried to steal multiple lawnmowers but couldn’t get them out of the fence around the property. The owner of the lawnmowers caught the attempted burglary on video.

A man blocked in his elderly father’s truck because he felt his father wasn’t fit to drive. His father tried to ram his truck to get out, then managed to squeeze past the truck and take off down the road. The man was apparently “completely lucid” and “cooperative” and he had a plan, so his son was satisfied with letting him go.

A school principal asked law enforcement officers to have a conversation with a seventh-grade boy about “the consequences of putting hands on people and breaking their stuff.”
