Law roundup: Person can't laugh all the way to the bank

Someone allegedly kept getting phone calls to meet an individual at a bank to collect millions of dollars they won. They asked the Kalispell Police Department to do extra patrol because they were worried someone might rob their house if they left to check what was going on. Dispatch advised them it was a scam and to not go to the bank. Extra patrol was provided.

Police responded to a call from a building manager who said tenants heard “violent arguing” coming from an apartment and were worried that it was physical. All was quiet when an officer arrived and no one answered the door to the apartment.

As soon as the officer left, the loud behavior reportedly started up again and management called the police again, wanting two people, who were not tenants, to leave for the night. They did.

Someone allegedly broke into a vehicle and made a mess. Other than a few dollars in change, nothing else of significant value was reported stolen and the vehicle wasn’t damaged.

Four youths were reportedly released to their parents after shoplifting at a grocery store.

Someone reportedly thought a vehicle they saw on a camera had hit a building and went out to check. Turns out, vehicles had parked on the sidewalk. Teen drivers told an officer they initially didn’t realize they were on the sidewalk because of the snow.

A nude couple was allegedly spotted having sex in a vehicle in the corner of a parking lot. An officer counseled them about their behavior and moved them along.

A snow berm reportedly formed around a teal pickup that sat at a location for several weeks, which obstructed snowplows.

A passerby requested a welfare check on a man they reportedly helped get up after he fell down. The passerby said the man nearly stumbled into traffic and was lying on the sidewalk. Officers checked on the man, who was able to get up and move along.

Someone’s son was reportedly trespassing at their house when he was spotted on surveillance footage sleeping on the porch.
