Law roundup: Student allegedly shot with a pellet gun

Three people in a blue minivan with a smashed-in headlight reportedly shot a pellet gun at a student using a crosswalk. One of the passengers was wearing a red ski mask and the driver had a mustache. A parent told the Columbia Falls Police Department that the driver claimed it was a water pellet gun.

A man lying in a snowdrift at an intersection allegedly told officers he went to a bar after snowboarding, left and started walking. Sometime during the night, he lost his cellphone and was unable to call for assistance.

A parent allegedly was worried their very intoxicated daughter would get hit by a car while walking away from a location. She was taken to a warming center in Kalispell.

A black Chevy Camaro reportedly stolen out of Las Vegas was recovered and placed in secure storage. A woman was taken to jail.

A store allegedly told an individual they would intercept a package purchased with a stolen credit card but the person said they still needed to report the incident to the police.

A man, who told police he was a retired deputy, called to report a woman’s odd behavior when she allegedly showed up at his door rambling about drugs and drug rings. The stranger used his phone to call her boyfriend but didn’t want him to pick her up because “there were cops in the area” and he had a suspended driver’s license. He gave her a ride to a motel.

Officers responded to a report that a man at a bar allegedly punched someone in the face, chipping their tooth. A bartender brought the man back inside and he was cooperative — until he wasn’t — and he left on foot with the bartender chasing after him.

Someone with a “kind of an involved story” reportedly wanted to talk to an officer about someone repeatedly hitting their vehicle several times and leaving.

A man showed up at a business and sat on the floor alleging he was drugged and poisoned and needed an ambulance. An employee told officers he was slurring his words. The man was conscious and breathing but was shaking and not responding to an officer’s questions.
