Man has road rage in own driveway

A neighbor told the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office to report a man threatening to run a woman over with his truck. The neighbor saw the man “gun the truck while she was standing in front of it.” The angry driver was also seen opening the door to spit on the woman and throwing “stuff” out of the vehicle. Both parties had left in the truck before law enforcement arrived.

Someone was confused how an intruder was able to break into their property and steal a rifle since they have “security doors” and “two dogs…who never raised a ruckus all night.”

A “pile of mail” was “found in an empty field” and it was later destroyed by the Sheriff’s Office.

An elderly man said he “needed help.” It turned out he had been dropped off at a rehabilitation facility in Missoula by his son and he was advised to seek help from the doctors there.

A homeowner discovered “strange footprints on her property.” The amateur detective traced the footprints to a work vehicle nearby and believed they had occurred in the last 12 hours. She was “concerned someone is looking around vehicles in the neighborhood” and requested an extra patrol. The officer who did the extra patrol “did not note anything suspicious.”

A woman came to the Sheriff’s Office lobby “to file a report about a letter she received” from Kalispell Regional Medical Center. The woman, who did not have a phone, said she had “concerns about mass mailings from KRMC,” but then she rattled off “names and incidents…regarding thefts and homicides.” The dispatcher claimed “the information was incoherent and did not make any sense regarding KRMC.”

A caretaker who was apparently not very good at his job reportedly hit the woman he was taking care of, and the woman said she also suspected him of dealing drugs on her property.

Someone called the police to report a driver for “spinning brodies” or turning the vehicle quickly and sliding in the snow.

An employee asked an elderly woman who was panhandling outside the business to leave because “the bosses don’t allow panhandling.” The panhandler then yelled at the employee so she asked law enforcement to remove her from the property.

A very specific caller complained a dog nearby had been barking for “two hours and fifteen minutes.” She was advised “it is Halloween and there is a lot of activity in neighborhoods tonight and dogs will be barking.”
