A reckless — possibly intoxicated — driver wearing a pink hat reportedly drove through a ditch and ran over a snowman on her way to the gas station. After plowing through Frosty, she found a parking spot and went into the store, leaving her car running. When she came out, she purportedly stood next to her car realizing multiple people called the Kalispell Police Department and drove away. She allegedly attempted to pull into a driveway after refusing to stop. She was taken to the hospital to have her blood drawn.

Dispatchers probably had bigger fish to fry than a woman calling and repeating the phrase, “You’re not liked by me,” to questions of whether or not she needed police, fire, or medical assistance.

A hotel employee had front-row seats to a fistfight in the parking lot, which was caught on a security camera. The employee told officers the situation looked “very tense.”

A man claimed he was being chased at the hospital and staff had given him the wrong medicine. The man was escorted off the property and was told he could only return for a medical emergency.

About $70 in cash and a jar of change was reported stolen and a first responder jacket missing from a woman’s vehicle.

Someone allegedly decided to follow a distracted driver after seeing him roll a blunt, and while doing so, caused the car to swerve.

A tip jar theft was reportedly caught on a security camera, however, it was unknown how much money was stolen.

A welfare check was requested for a pregnant teen allegedly seen “doing a line of meth,” on a Snapchat video.

Someone flagged down officers to report a man in his late 40s was jumping around, “grabbing himself” and yelling at traffic near a grocery store. Officers located the man and moved him along.
