Law roundup: Women get into rhubarb at farmers market

Two women reportedly got into a spat at the farmers market when one of them parked next to the other’s vehicle and hit it when they opened their door. When confronted, she stuck her hand in the other woman’s face and drove off. When Kalispell Police Department officers spoke to both parties the women supposedly worked the matter out, however, later on, one of them called officers very upset that the other wasn’t cooperating. Eventually, the dust settled when parties involved were contacted and insurance was provided.

Officers responded to a report from someone who allegedly heard shots fired and a dog barking and saw a woman holding a rifle when everything went quiet. Officers made contact with a woman who reportedly decided to scare off a neighbor’s dog that scared her by throwing a firecracker in her yard. She said the dog was “eating her fence and tearing it down,” and showed officers photos of the damage. The officers gave her advice on contacting animal control.

Someone allegedly reported a vehicle containing about eight teens for driving recklessly when they saw it backing in and out of a parking spot. The young driver quickly enough gave up and drove away.

A vehicle with out-of-state license plates was allegedly speeding at about 70 mph when it cut a vehicle off, almost causing it to go off the road while nearly running into oncoming vehicles as it sped through a red light.
