Law roundup: Young women counseled for ‘obnoxious’ behavior

A caller said some young women on a four-wheeler were being “loud and obnoxious.” The complainant noted the off-roaders were “usually on [their] phones.” The Columbia Falls Police Department counseled the young women on their infractions.

Someone was reported for causing a traffic hazard. They were fixing cones in the roadway.

A rental vehicle was “side-swiped” on Second Avenue in Columbia Falls, while the car renter was out of the vehicle.

A woman believed her name was forged on the title of her mother’s trailer.

A man said a dog “barks constantly whenever it is outside,” but an officer who investigated said the claim was unfounded.

A woman parked a purple truck next to a Columbia Falls business. The business owner called the police because he saw her sitting in her truck, “ducking down and acting strange.” He suspected she was intoxicated with methamphetamine.

A Columbia Falls resident thought he heard someone “smashing a vehicle and running around.” It also sounded to him “like someone was kicking on a door.” Officers found out some apartment dwellers had invited friends over, who got into an argument and then left.

Someone yelled at a camper who parked her vehicle early ahead of a state swimming competition. The camper was given permission by the event organizers and the city to camp at the location before the event, but she was nonetheless told by the angry observer: “this is not a campground.”
