Trick or treat … bags?

“Treat bags,” were purportedly left in planters outside the Kalispell Police Department and a man wanted officers to be aware that he was outside looking in the flower beds.

A man wearing a pink shirt and black see-through top was reportedly arguing with someone while trying to break into the back of a building — again. The man allegedly told officers he thought he left his father’s wallet in the building the first time he was there and was trying to break in to get it.

A transient in a red hoodie was allegedly building a shelter in front of a store, making employees nervous. When an employee asked him what he was doing, he said he was building a snowman. When the employee asked him to leave, he reportedly told her to go away and brandished what she thought looked like a knife. He was moved along.

Two unruly “kids” reportedly drove up to a residence in a small silver truck that was “very loud” and knocked on the door. When the resident opened it, the youths started throwing things, possibly rocks, and told the resident to “‘F’ off.”

One dog and two cats that reportedly had been spray painted were taken by animal control to Flathead Pet Emergency after officers received an animal cruelty complaint about live animals in a storage unit. There wasn’t any food or water visible when the animals were taken and officers smelled a strong propane odor from a space heater.

A later call came in from someone who allegedly said they were homeless and their ex-roommate had moved their belongings and pets — two kittens, a dog and a lizard that died — into a storage unit that someone broke into and the animals were missing.

An angry man, who sounded “extremely intoxicated,” was allegedly being argumentative with dispatchers and yelling about the lack of extra patrol around a motel at a particular time. Police planned to do extra patrol.
