No explanation for lights, loud noise

| October 2, 2020 12:00 AM

A man was convinced someone had broken into his basement because there were lights on and he apparently heard a loud crash. Flathead County Sheriff’s Office deputies checked the area and found the door to the basement was locked and the windows hadn’t been breached. They didn’t find anyone in the house and they determined the caller wasn’t in danger.

The driver of a silver Ford truck appeared to be going back and forth across a bridge, chasing other drivers off the road and stopping to yell at people. He was counseled on his driving.

A man in his 60s, living at an assisted-living facility in Columbia Falls, apparently assaulted his roommate, who is in his 90s.

A man reportedly grabbed his chest and fell to the ground in front of a business on Ninth Street in Columbia Falls. Someone asked the man if he was all right, and he apparently “didn’t say anything but gave a thumbs-up.” He was taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation by the Columbia Falls Police Department.

Another man was apparently having chest pain and he told a dispatcher he thought he might be having “another embolism,” but then he wouldn’t answer any questions or talk to the dispatcher.

An “extremely intoxicated” mother wanted her daughter to be forbidden from returning to her property in Columbia Falls because of the daughter’s alleged drug use.

A man called the police because he was drunk and he wanted to see if the police would give him assistance, although it was unspecified exactly what kind of help he was looking for. He told the dispatcher the department “has helped him out before.”

A woman’s boss called because he thought the woman was having a seizure. Dispatchers could overhear loud noises, hard breathing and a loud crash in the background during the phone call. However, it turned out the woman was simply intoxicated and the request for a medical response was canceled.
