Lucifer pays a visit to Kalispell

| October 14, 2019 4:00 AM

Someone reported a “very agitated” man was sitting at a table swearing to himself, acting strange and yelling “I am Lucifer” and wanted Kalispell Police Department to remove him from the premises. The possibly intoxicated man was described wearing sunglasses, a red shirt, army-style jacket and red fingernail polish. He was told to leave the premises and complied.

A store security guard wanted a woman with a “service cat” removed, but she refused to leave. The guard claimed it was the second time this had happened. Police counseled all parties involved and the issue was going to be taken up with the store’s corporate office. The cat lady later called law enforcement because she needed to get her EBT card left inside the store. The card was returned to her.

Someone visiting the area called police and wanted to know what the crosswalk laws were in Montana. The caller was very confused as to why no one stopped for him. An officer told the man that pedestrians must yield to all vehicles.

Someone called and was concerned about a person walking a dog because she thought it was suspicious.

Someone who was at a wedding told police intoxicated adults showed up with three kids in tow and claimed it was an ongoing issue. The person got the group a taxi and wanted officers to check on the children’s welfare since the adults were “so drunk and upset” with people trying to help them. An officer checked on them and everyone was OK.

A caller said she was talking to her friend on the phone while her husband beat her up.

Someone found a backpack at the bus stop and took it to the police station.

A woman attempted to catch two pit bulls on the loose, but she said they became “pretty aggressive” as they neared her porch and they continued running. She reported that someone in a vehicle picked up one of the dogs, but she wasn’t sure if the other dog was picked up. An officer was unable to locate any canines.

A caller told police she and her sister reportedly had a temporary restraining order against their grandfather who was “upstairs in the ladies room” and then in a bar area. Officers were unable to locate the man and the woman planned to leave anyway.

A person said someone used pepper spray on their dog. While it was unknown who exactly did the deed, they said a neighbor complained about the animal last week. The person said they bathed the dog before calling police and said they would consider putting up a game camera.

Saturday night’s fireworks resulted in at least five calls. By 10:20 p.m., order had been restored.

A homeowner was cited after several neighbors called about a trio of barking dogs that had went on most of the night. An officer confirmed the veracity of the claim and explained the problem to the man.

Someone reported a van had driven into a park, rolled through a stop sign and turned without having the right-of-way. The caller thought the person may be drunk, but an officer didn’t find anyone after investigating.
