Law roundup: The entitled bunch strikes again

A man with an arm in a cast, a woman with blonde and blue hair and minor — allegedly paid about $14 for more than $100 worth of merchandise. Employees told the Kalispell Police Department they had asked the ragtag bunch to step into an office, but the trio refused, proceeded to the parking lot, and drove away despite getting stuck in traffic. This wasn’t the first time the entitled bunch had stolen from the store.

A building manager requested the city clean up an alley behind a museum where “a lot of human feces,” was reportedly found. The manager said it was an ongoing issue.

Later on, a call came in about a woman urinating in another alley.

A customer called the police after purportedly ingesting a “caustic keg” full of something they thought was chemical in nature because they had a headache and a “burning feeling inside.” The caller said they were going to the hospital and wanted officers to secure the keg. They claimed their fiance and a bartender tasted the contents, however, the keg had been switched out. Officers advised the fire department about a potential chemical element at the scene and investigated. No hazards were reportedly found.

A customer allegedly told an employee that a very intoxicated woman was sprawled out between bathroom stalls and yelling at people. It was unknown how long she had been there. Officers advised the woman of her warrant and moved her along.

Officers responded to a report of a physical fight between a man and a woman over a vehicle being repossessed. The woman, who allegedly wasn’t the vehicle owner, didn’t want it towed and swung at the man, who pinned her to the wall. He said he was there to pick it up for the owner. She reportedly “rushed him” and he held her at arm’s length, then shoved her, pinning her to the ground. Dispatchers advised him to stop touching her and stay in his truck. He said he was bleeding but denied medical assistance. Officers cited and released the man.

Someone asked officers to check on the welfare of a screaming baby a man allegedly left in a car for 10 to 15 minutes. Officers were unable to locate the vehicle.

A maintenance employee reportedly saw a man wearing a white hoodie and backpack walking and crouching by a fence. The employee told officers he was under a bunch of branches that appeared to be “broken down into a hut.” He was gone by the time officers arrived.
