Law roundup: Passerby looks past the sign

Spotting a red sedan parked in a lot off of Idaho Street with a sign on it reading “pit bull puppies” and children playing nearby, a passerby feared the worst and called the Kalispell Police Department. They told authorities they suspected that the operation was a front and the children were actually the ones up for auction. Officers investigated and learned that the only items for sale were puppies. 

A caller reported a man “going crazy” in front of an office, smashing and grabbing at nonexistent items. Officers met up with the man and he moved along. 

A tiff between neighbors on different floors of the same building threatened to spiral out of control with one banging on the ceiling and the other pounding on a door. Officers counseled both individuals.
