Man with jug of milk draws suspicion

A man was concerned because he saw another man talking to some young children near a church on Main Street in Kalispell. The caller thought something was off because the suspicious man was holding a gallon of milk. Kalispell Police Department officers made contact with the young people and they informed the officers there was nothing out of the ordinary about the man with the milk.

A confused caller in front of the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office apparently called the Kalispell Police and said he didn’t know what was going on. When a dispatcher called him back the man said he thought he had “butt-dialed.”

A man accidentally called the KPD four times in a row from a motel in South Kalispell.

A son apparently refused to perform CPR on his ailing 71-year-old father.

A man said his neighbor’s dog killed his cat, although he heard this information secondhand. He was told to determine whether the dog had been outside its fence at the time, since the incident would not be considered a violation of a city ordinance if the dog was in its own yard. The cat owner was apparently disappointed with these instructions but promised he would call back.

Someone was suspicious of a “darker-skinned” man walking a bike with a package on top of it. The man apparently started “yelling at the top of his lungs,” and the person who was watching him thought he “sounded angry.”

A father called because his son apparently had gotten into a fight, and the son became so distraught about the incident “he couldn’t sleep or eat.” The father wanted to know if there would be charges pressed against his son.

A man wanted to talk to a Montana Highway Patrol trooper about a stolen gun and an alleged felon, but he hung up on the trooper. Then he showed up in the KPD lobby to discuss the same issue.

A homeowner said his neighbors were parking on his property. He tried leaving a “nice note,” on one of the vehicles, but then the neighbors parked even more vehicles on the property. The homeowner said he didn’t feel comfortable knocking on the neighbor’s door and talking to them, so an officer contacted the neighbor and he promised to move the vehicles.

A woman at a bar near Woodland Park called the police on behalf of her ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend’s heroin dealer was apparently “after him” for a $400 payment, and the drug dealer reportedly threatened to shoot the heroin addict if she didn’t get the money.

A woman had some friends over and, after a night of drinking, a man apparently punched her car. The man left her residence, but the woman still wanted an officer to immediately come to her house to assess the damage, and she hung up when the dispatcher explained there were some higher-priority criminal activities going on that night.
