Law roundup: Man fears being pursued by cartel

| June 18, 2021 12:00 AM

A man at a business told the Kalispell Police Department he was “being followed by [a] Mexican cartel.” He alleged his pursuers followed him from Troy. He asked an officer to take the SIM card from his phone, and the dispatcher reported he answered the man’s questions “as best as [he] can.”

It sounded like people were using walkie-talkies in the background of an apparent accidental 911 call.

A woman sitting in a car in a parking lot reportedly was “acting as strange as can be,” according to a customer at the same business.

A man went into a carpet store and started “screaming obscenities.” He left, then returned to the back door of the business and continued yelling at the employees.

Someone said he received a tip “that a female from the wanted list” was at a certain location. However, the caller refused to give further information, his name or a physical description of the alleged criminal.

A car blocked a woman in her driveway when she tried to leave for work.

A man at a park southwest of Kalispell was “inappropriately touching himself while hiding in the bushes.”

Two “very intoxicated” people went through a drive-thru in Kalispell.

A neighbor thought a family was having an argument, but she said it was “too far away to tell” precisely what was going on. The alleged fight turned out to be “kids playing.”
