Law roundup: Back-alley neutering goes wrong

Someone told Kalispell Police Department officers they had to swerve to miss a woman walking into traffic who appeared “not to be in her right mind.” An officer made contact with the woman.

She declined any other assistance.

An upset mother called the police to report a woman wearing blue face paint and a man with blue hands, who appeared to be drugged out, when the man reportedly cornered her son in the bathroom, telling him to remove his shirt so he could see his chest and asked if he wanted to go on a date.

A woman acting strangely near an elementary school raised someone's suspicions when she took the contents out of her backpack and began swinging it around.
