Law roundup: Woman asks police to rampage through ‘drug house’

A distraught woman reportedly told the Kalispell Police Department she was confronted by a man who grabbed something from the back of his truck and started coming toward her, yelling “profane things” after she asked him and another man what they were doing in an alley and to move their vehicle, which was blocking her driveway. When she went to take a photo of the license plate, the other man confronted her, telling her not to take his photo. The men claimed the argument began when she told them not to put garbage in a garbage can. The woman said they lived in a “drug house” and wanted officers to “kick open the door and rampage through the home.” She stormed away when she was told nothing criminal occurred and was unhappy with the officer’s advice.

A mother requested extra patrol after she allegedly discovered a screen to the storm door her children use had been damaged and found a handprint on the frame. She told officers her neighbors had video footage and she saw people giving them children’s toys and looking in her windows. She also noticed a man with a goatee in a black vehicle with an inner tube in the back.

Someone reported a raccoon had been hit and needed to be dispatched. Using good judgment, they didn’t approach the animal for fear they might be attacked by a “friend raccoon” that seemed “worked up” about the unfortunate situation.

A man wearing a gray hoodie and black sweatpants was reportedly banging on the backdoor of a gas station and sneaking around the business.

Someone reportedly saw a man around 25 hit a woman in an alley and walked away when their partner confronted him. The woman denied medical assistance and asked him to help her find her phone.

A woman returned home after being out of town to allegedly find a plant knocked over outside and a wire on the ground near her house which made her think someone used it to break into a house because of recent reports of break-ins in the neighborhood.
