Law roundup: Civility requested in neighbor dispute

After allegedly living next door to a neighbor for 35 years, a woman called the Kalispell Police Department, complaining that he was passive-aggressive and was always harassing her. She told officers she called about these issues more than a year ago, “has had enough” and wanted law enforcement to speak to him. Since nothing criminal occurred at the time, an officer talked to her about how she and her neighbor “have a duty to be civil to one another,” and offered to call the sullen neighbor. She decided she didn’t want the officer to contact him but would call again if contact was necessary.

A woman called 911 and hung up. When law enforcement contacted her, she alleged that her boyfriend was refusing to leave and requested a civil standby. Officers inspected her residence and saw he had already left.

A man with a silver beard wrapped in a large red blanket was allegedly found sleeping in a laundry room by a property manager who said he was trying to tamper with the machines. She didn’t want to confront him, telling officers that the last time she asked someone to leave they had a knife. The man left without incident prior to an officer’s arrival.

The door to a horse stall at the fairgrounds was reportedly wired shut but when police knocked on the door, cut the wire and entered the stall it was empty.

A black 2015 Chevy Equinox and a bag of money containing $2,000 were allegedly stolen and a set of footprints belonging to someone wearing Nike shoes were left behind. The vehicle was described as having small dents on the driver’s side next to the taillight, a “half-moon” shaped scrape on the plastic of the back windshield and two stickers.

A man reportedly gave his social security number to someone who identified themselves as being from a national insurance company over the phone and hung up after getting the information.
