A Lakeside teen was upset that a male allegedly continued to call and text her from different cellphones and had his parents call her to tell her “she is being mean to their son,” despite reportedly telling him to stop and blocking his phone number.

A woman told Columbia Falls Police Department about her suspicions regarding a man who reportedly stopped an elderly woman on multiple occasions, sometimes within hours, while she was walking her dog and said he was looking for his missing dog, then gave her his contact information if she found it.
