Women anxious to report 'methed-out' man

| October 23, 2019 4:00 AM

Flathead County Sheriff’s Office received a call from two women “talking at once” on speaker phone to report a man who was supposedly “floating down the street methed out” on U.S. 93 in Whitefish.

Someone’s “old lady took their kids and they can’t see them anymore.” The person was given advice on how to arrange a parenting plan.

A man calling from Twin Acres Drive in Kalispell told dispatchers he was throwing up after his dad reportedly sprayed him with pepper spray.

Someone calling from Shady Lane thought a thin man was intoxicated or high because he was reportedly waving his arms and acting like he was going to wander into traffic. Deputies made contact with the man in a parking lot on Montana 35, and he purportedly denied being near the road or acting like he was going to walk into traffic. He was advised of the complaint and stated “he would not go near the road.”

A man allegedly threatened to kill another man who called deputies from a U.S. 2 location in Columbia Falls. The caller alleged the man was screaming and yelling and was “mad because no one will give him drugs.” The caller was in a “toy hauler” and reportedly said if he got out he was “probably going to shoot” him. He was advised to stay in the hauler until officers arrived, which he reportedly did. The caller also thought the man once cut the brakes on his mother’s car.

A Trumble Creek Road resident in Kalispell claimed a man was out in the road yelling to call the cops. The caller said it had been going on for 10 minutes, but they could no longer hear them.

An employee on U.S. 2 in Kalispell complained about a man trespassing in a parking lot when he was allegedly found sleeping in a truck. The caller claimed this was an ongoing issue and the man has been asked to leave, but keeps coming back.

A Golf Terrace resident in Bigfork told officers someone reportedly stole a check to pay a credit card bill from her mailbox and wrote over it and used it at a store. A store employee claimed to know the woman who cashed it fraudulently as she frequents the store.

A Sulky Lane resident in Kalispell was suspicious of a “dually” truck with a loud exhaust that drove past their house several times, stopped, and the occupants got out and walked around the yard. The resident claimed when the pair saw them looking out the window they “jumped into the truck and power-braked out of the driveway.” The resident then supposedly saw them walking in a neighbor’s yard.

Someone told deputies a drunk woman was about to drive on U.S. 2 in Coram.

Someone on Main Street in Kalipsell called in a possibly intoxicated driver who was swerving and almost hit a curb by the courthouse.

Instead of providing useful information to dispatchers regarding a verbal disturbance, a man reportedly spewed profanities instead, claiming he’d handle the situation himself and hung up.
