Law roundup: Woman demands police assistance with cigarette break

A woman reportedly wanted the Kalispell Police Department “to take care of the hospital staff” who wouldn’t let her outside to smoke a cigarette after four days had passed. She was advised that medical professionals would let her out if that was OK and that law enforcement might be unable to assist in getting her a cigarette break. The woman said, “OK, that’s fine. I’ll just shoot all of you then,” and, “I’ll talk to you when you get here,” before hanging up.

He also reported a man wearing a tall hat and purple jacket made a scene at a casino. He then told dispatch to “run the warrant machine,” and see if he had one. He was told a previous time the jail didn’t have room for him. Officers advised him he was trespassing and dropped him off at another location.
