Law roundup: Dog relieving itself enrages man

A woman’s dog was going potty when a man wearing a black mask, beanie and a green coat allegedly told her he would “kick her [expletive]” after making comments about people letting animals relieve themselves. He then went into a store, but approached her again while she was cleaning out her car. Feeling unsafe, she called the Kalispell Police Department a second time.

Two men in a lifted Dodge pickup with a Confederate flag sticker on the passenger side window allegedly assaulted a woman outside a location.

Someone was fearful of a man who allegedly purchased a shotgun after being arrested and had a revolver taken away. He kept sending them “unstable comments” about going to their residence and “dealing with it.”

A man wearing a light blue jacket and tan pants allegedly tried to get into a woman’s car while she was leaving for work.

A man reportedly pounded on a glass door for five minutes and said he was in extreme pain from a “nervous system breakdown” and asked for an ambulance.

A swerving white van allegedly blew through a stop sign and pulled into a gas station.
