Neighbor wants ‘vicious bulldog’ removed

A neighbor told the Whitefish Police Department there was a “vicious bulldog in her yard.” Then she changed her story to report the dog, which “bared its teeth at her,” was actually a pit bull.

A concerned churchgoer was worried about a fellow member of her parish because she heard the woman, who is in her 80s, had not been showing up at church lately. The older woman contacted the caller and told her she was OK.

A bank customer reported two other male customers were “giving the cashier a hard time.” The difficult customers were located and counseled.

A man looked out his window and saw two teenaged males he believed to be “transients” trying to build a skate ramp on private property. The skater boys moved along.

A dog apparently dug a hole and then someone filled the hole with bleach. The dog owner had to take the dog to an animal hospital following the incident.

A bull was spotted in the middle of Edgewood Drive in Whitefish. It later appeared “the owner [was] out checking the area” for the bull.

An employee asked the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office to check on a white van that was at his workplace all throughout his shift. It turned out a woman was sleeping in the back of the van and she was asked to move along.

Someone else saw two vehicles he thought were suspicious parked by a bridge. He described their location as the “same spot law enforcement busted a stolen [vehicle] last week or so.” The drivers of the suspicious vehicles turned out to be experiencing vehicle issues and promised to be on their way quickly.

A woman claimed the man she was living with hit her in the stomach after she asked him to go out to a grocery store to pick up toilet paper. Law enforcement determined this claim was unfounded since she didn’t have any apparent markings of being assaulted and they thought she might be suffering from dementia.

A woman said someone used “some kind of car paint [or] chalk to write vulgar things on the windows of her vehicle.” At first she was worried the damage might be permanent, but then she said the substance “just wipes off.”

A woman was sitting in her vehicle and she was “working through some emotions.”

A driver reported construction crews were driving over the speed limit and “while trying to miss potholes they [were] crossing into the other lane of traffic.” Montana Highway Patrol was notified.

A father—who had possibly suffered a stroke previously—believed his son had stolen checks and a TV he found in his garage. The checks might have matched checks that were stolen in 2015, but there was no report on them, and there didn’t appear to be any recent TV thefts. The father decided to destroy the checks and deal with the TV “however he saw fit.”
