A passerby saw vehicles that looked like they were driving up toward “the incomplete bridge” in the roundabout construction area and got stuck. Another caller told the Kalispell Police Department a car was trying to pull a truck out that “buried itself in gravel.” The incident was turned over to Montana Highway Patrol.

Someone shouldn’t place bets anytime soon at guessing people’s ages correctly, when they told police they saw what looked like a 7-year-old girl in a pink jacket crossing the street. Officers made contact with her. She was in her 20s and was doing fine.

Two men, a woman, and a dog that purportedly pooped on lawns in the neighborhood, allegedly were living in a white and green van parked in an auto parts store lot despite being warned about city ordinances. They told officers their vehicle “broke down” and they were working on getting it moved that day. They were still banned from the property.

A store employee was having a challenging time when during a call to police about a man with red hair who tried to steal a cart full of items and left on foot — another man tried to steal candy but ditched the items when he saw the employee on the phone. The caller believed the two were in cahoots.

A toothless heavyset woman with black hair allegedly stole a full cart of goods without paying and left in a gray Buick.

A person thought it was weird to see a lone baby carriage sitting “under the bypass.” It reportedly belonged to a homeless man.

An intoxicated woman allegedly evicted from a building returned to the site and was banging on a guest’s door, asking for her items. A new manager asked officers to readvise the woman she was trespassing.

A motorhome and two pickups were parked in a lot overnight and a manager wanted them removed. All subjects were warned and they moved on.

A vehicle abandoned in a parking lot was repeatedly being vandalized and all the windows were now broken and the tires were flat.

A passerby claimed a bearded man and a man in a wheelchair were pushing and shoving each other.

A resident told law enforcement they could park in their driveway to do extra patrol to catch speeders because the situation was worsening.

A possible drunk driver in a silver Denali with out-of-state-license plates was driving all over the road, almost wrecked, and headed onto Willow Glen Drive.

A man’s wife was throwing his items out of the house and was concerned she was breaking his stuff. He went outside and told officers she had a history of physically abusing him. He collected what he could and left. The woman reportedly said she would stack the rest of his things outside for him to collect later.
