Hot dog wasn’t overheated

Someone was concerned about a canine’s wellbeing when they told the Kalispell Police Department about a “big white fluffy dog” in a parked car. The caller said the canine looked “hot” and “toasty,” but officials determined the animal was doing all right.

A student was allegedly walking home from school when a “beat-up red SUV” pulled up and the boys in the car started yelling at the student, asking him for money. The passengers apparently shot at the boy with a “salt gun,” and although he made it home unscathed, his friend was apparently hit with a projectile from the weapon.

A man apparently picked up a female passenger at a Mexican fast food restaurant and then went with her to a large retail store, where she stole a flashlight. He dropped her off and then told KPD officers about the theft when they contacted him.

A very thin man was reportedly “talk[ing] to trees” in a Kalispell park. Someone who observed this behavior said, “it is creepy” and he was “concerned” the tree-talker hadn’t moved on from his spot in the park for several days.

A grandmother said she was in the middle of a long-distance phone call with her grandson when she somehow connected with a KPD dispatcher.

A woman wasn’t sure how to answer a man who asked her, “should I continue to kill people with kindness or take their souls?” She decided to call the police about the bizarre interaction 10 minutes after it occurred.

A suspicious man was running and disappeared into a laundry room.

A man who was out hunting said a “transient” was sleeping on the porch at a business and “defecating” behind the caller’s shop. However, the caller told officers he didn’t have the authority to request the man be removed.
