Law roundup: Man lights into neighbors about fireworks ordinance

A man called the Kalispell Police Department complaining about “guys lighting off artillery shells” in a neighboring apartment building and said it happens every year, but this year, he was not going to put up with it. The upset man allegedly went over to the building and yelled at a man who didn’t believe there was a city ordinance against fireworks and shoved him off the property. The neighbors told officers they looked up the ordinance before their arrival, would not light any more fireworks and apologized.

An employee called the police about an intoxicated customer sitting outside the store saying she didn’t want him to leave and drive drunk. She reportedly went back inside the store, however, when he tried to sit on her lap.

Someone reportedly confronted a woman about throwing a can of White Claw (a brand of alcoholic seltzer water) out the window of her black Cadillac SUV.

A man reportedly thought a 60-foot easement meant he could park vehicles there indefinitely. Officers advised him this was not the case, and told him to move his vehicles or they would be towed and he could go to jail for trespassing.

A man wearing gloves and with a wagon full of luggage was allegedly seen trying to break into a building. He kept spraying himself with something while his pink-haired companion curled up on the ground.

Four barefoot kids were reportedly hounding a medium-sized dog named Tank, chasing it by the mall. Officers spoke with the dog owner.

A man was allegedly getting drunk in a bike tunnel and throwing beer bottles into the creek.

A man reportedly wanted to press charges against a 37-year-old woman for hitting him and “taking a shovel to his window.”

A woman claimed a pickup drove into the crosswalk and tried to hit her.

Just like an alarm clock, a dog allegedly had a schedule of barking early in the morning and late at night.

Someone wanted to report perjury, claiming a man lied in open court.

Six vehicles parked in a lot were allegedly blocking the path of a street sweeper hired to clean up the lot and a woman at the location wanted the owners contacted to remove them. She was advised to reschedule the cleaning and put up “no parking” signs as opposed to having law enforcement call all the owners to move their legally parked vehicles.

A woman wanted to know if it was legal to sand and paint a vehicle in the street because there was an ongoing issue of vehicles in the road which she thought was a traffic hazard. Officers went to the scene and determined there were no applicable offenses to pursue.
