Instant karma's going to get you

| December 27, 2019 4:00 AM

A restaurant manager complained to the Kalispell Police Department about a woman who believed the manager had the woman’s cat. The manager claimed the woman and the male driver she was with had threatened her, saying “we will come back to get ya. That will be your karma.” The manager was apparently “very uncooperative” in giving information to the dispatcher and simply wanted the threats documented.

Someone wanted to let the KPD know that he saw a man with a flannel shirt, camouflage pants and gray facial hair walking “in the area of the liquor store.”

Someone complained to the police about a “sketchy motorhome” outside a hotel. The complainant said the vehicle had “containers with chickens and poop and kennels on a flatbed trailer.” When the police contacted the hotel front desk, they learned the motorhome dwellers were “paying guests and [were] more than welcome to be there.”

Someone heard a person using a semi-automatic weapon for target practice in a gully.

A man found bullet fragments in his meter box and the police collected them.

Someone was concerned about a woman walking down a road with luggage and a dog. The person claimed the suspicious woman “leaves the dog to move the luggage and then comes back to the dog to move the dog closer to the luggage.” The person watching this process wanted the police to check on the woman because he was “only concerned for the dog.”

A man was seen lying by a tree. He apparently got up, stumbled, bumped into a few cars and then lied back down again. However, an officer who responded said he didn’t “smell like he’[d] been drinking.” The unsteady man’s father picked him up.

A concerned citizen noticed a driver had an expired vehicle registration and asked the police to “go cite them.” It turned out the police were unable to cite the driver simply based on what the caller had reported.

Someone was suspicious about a black vehicle with all of its doors open and apparently no one around it, but then a driver showed up and the vehicle left the area.

A driver told the police a semi-truck got stuck under a bridge, but when the police checked the underpass it was clear.

Someone was worried about three men driving slowly around her neighborhood with flashlights. The police investigated but were unable to find a vehicle matching the description of an “unknown-color sedan.”

A neighbor was suspicious about a “possible drug house” because “there ha[d] been a lot of traffic at this house.” An officer observed the area for 30 minutes and only saw one vehicle during that time.
