Unhappy diner takes complaint to police

A disgruntled customer asked to speak to a Kalispell Police Department officer because a Mexican fast food restaurant allegedly mishandled her order twice. She added an employee was “rude and vulgar with them when they tried to get the order replaced.” Although the complaint might have been better served by talking to a manager at the restaurant, the caller said she “needed to get [her] frustrations out over the phone.”

A man apparently stepped outside his residence without any clothes, “grabbed his privates” and told his neighbor, “I know that you are watching.” Both parties ended up receiving disorderly conduct citations.

A driver accidentally hit her accelerator when she meant to brake, so instead of pulling into a parking spot she backed into a building. There was damage to the vehicle and the building, and her car was towed.

A truck reportedly drove into a stop sign and knocked it down.

An anxious caller requested extra patrol in his area “due to hearing strange noises.” He said he “heard a noise like something fell,” but the dispatcher told him the wind might have been the source of the noise. The officer who completed the request for extra patrol said there seemed to be “nothing out of the ordinary in [the] area.”

Hours after she witnessed an incident she found disturbing, a woman decided she wanted to report the situation to the police. She was given the police department’s non-emergent phone number, and she told them she saw a “tall man with a very mean manner berating a 4- or 5-year-old little girl.”

A woman wearing a bright pink sweatshirt was seen “stumbling around” outside a building, but officers who checked on her said there was “nothing unusual about her behavior.”

Someone confiscated a large container of marijuana and asked the police to collect and destroy it.
