Law roundup: Fraud accusation actually fake

| August 8, 2021 12:00 AM

A woman told the Kalispell Police Department she withdrew $9,000 from her bank account when she received a scam call from Texas. She said the caller told her “she was involved in a sex ring” so she withdrew all of her money to get out of the situation. It turned out she hadn’t actually withdrawn the money and no fraud was committed.

A transient man in a Kalispell park was reported to the KPD for moving rocks. After he was confronted about his behavior, the suspect promised to put the rocks back.

A woman said she accidentally bumped a button with her chin and called 911.

A woman told officers there was a feral cat living under her porch.

A woman said she received a concerning letter from the post office regarding her retirement fund. She suspected it was a case of fraud.

A small fawn apparently got trapped inside a baseball field. Someone on the scene called police to come open a gate to let the deer out.

In another case of a trapped animal, a man called the police because a bat got stuck in his house.

A supervisor said he fired someone and the ex-employee stole a $350 tool on his way out. However, the tool was located in a vehicle on the site shortly after the initial call to police. The supervisor said there was actually no theft.
