Law roundup: Woman clobbered over cat’s care

An upset parent called the Kalispell Police Department asking for an ambulance to take her 22-year-old daughter to the emergency room after she was reportedly punched in the face by someone over a cat and was bleeding from the nose and mouth. The parent alleged that six or seven “kids” in their 20s showed up trying to get her and her family to take the cat.

After declining to take in the cat, the person reportedly threatened to damage the daughter’s car and when she went outside, they beat her up. A Kalispell Police Department officer provided contact information and a case report number, saying they would follow up with the woman, who had been drinking, after she was treated and sober.

Someone was concerned when they allegedly heard a man screaming in a parking lot and yelling that he was going to kill his ex-girlfriend and no one would find her. The man also said he didn’t care if he “got a felony.” 

A man allegedly threw a woman around and restrained her on a bed.  He also possibly broke one of her fingers.

Officers responded to a report of a man kicking street signs outside a location that he had been kicked out of. A Taser was deployed.

A man wearing all black was allegedly riding a bicycle that was hitched to a little trailer, back and forth behind a restaurant, which raised someone’s suspicions that he was casing vehicles.

Someone reportedly got out of a white truck and began pounding on a woman’s parked vehicle before taking off during a hit-and-run incident.

Store security was allegedly concerned a man with a full cart might try to steal the items because he was acting/making “erratic random selections” in the electronics department. The employee said he had a firearm tucked in the back of his waistband and knives in the vest he was wearing. Officers advised the man he was trespassing.

A registered 9mm Canik in a plastic holster was reported stolen from a vehicle panel.
