Law roundup: Malodorous man steals perfume
A drunk man reeking of alcohol allegedly decided to freshen up by going into a store and putting perfume down his saggy jeans. An employee called 911 and told officers he was hovering over employees, making them uncomfortable. The man, who was also wearing a black shirt and red hat, left on foot.
A furious man reportedly left a profanity-laden voicemail with the Kalispell Police Department regarding the parking situation in his neighborhood. He claimed vehicles parked in the area every Friday night, blocking the road, while other vehicles drove in the middle of the road, almost causing accidents. He also griped about pedestrians walking in the middle of the road without paying attention.
Kids “were everywhere” and teens were allegedly speeding up and down a neighborhood while revving their engines. After 45 minutes of the shenanigans, a resident called the police to report the incident and voice safety concerns. A local car group told officers they were there to “support a boy who was getting bullied.”
Officers received a later call from a man who was reportedly almost hit while riding his bike by a white truck containing a group of teens. Officers made contact with a large group at a location entrance where someone said the driver already left.
Officers received yet another complaint about vehicles speeding and looping around an area and revving engines.
Someone was concerned about the welfare of a person inside a sleeping bag located under a bridge because they reportedly hadn’t moved in 20 minutes. Officers checked on a man who was OK.
Store security allegedly requested an officer immediately respond to the scene because a 50- to 60-year-old man they detained had become combative. The man was told he couldn’t return to the property for one year.
A passerby requested a welfare check for a man seen lying in the ditch because they thought he didn’t look well and his skin was turning purple.
A man with a long ponytail was seen walking and riding a small blue bicycle up and down a street where a woman, who didn’t recognize him as a resident in the area, thought he was watching her house. She asked officers to check on him. Other than seeing a man in the area go into a residence, everything else seemed OK.
A couple of unruly customers were reportedly heard yelling on an open line to dispatch before disconnecting. An employee called back alleging a man wearing a yellow coat and a woman wearing a hat with a skull on it were standing in the doorway holding the door open so they couldn’t close it. The employee believed they were under the influence of alcohol or drugs because of their aggressive behavior.
