Law roundup: Road rage incident ends with fisticuffs

The Kalispell Police Department responded to a report of a fight and found a man at the scene with visible injuries on his face and the back of his hands. He alleged a vehicle forced him on the shoulder of the road where a man approached his vehicle and the two began punching each other. A passerby pulled over and broke up the fight and one of the men left the scene.

Someone was purportedly too scared to go outside because a man wearing a baseball cap and dark green shirt was yelling at people, telling them that they were going to hell, and aggressively moving chairs around.

A woman allegedly woke from a nap by “graffiti rock” above Woodland Park feeling scared and called the police rambling about kids “going to beat her or murder her,” when two people walked through the area

A concerned customer service employee reportedly received a disturbing phone call from someone who said they bought a child and needed to buy a cage for them. Officers spoke with a woman who told them the caller’s phone number was her son’s and said she would take his phone away and make him call the employee to apologize.

Officers responded to a report of two men allegedly wrestling each other in a park. Later, someone flagged down an officer when a man, who was part of the same group, was reportedly going at someone with a pipe. No one wanted to press charges.

Someone who was very hard to understand called police from “graffiti rock” above Woodland Park alleging a group of five or six people were harassing them, saying they were going to hit them, when the call disconnected. On a dispatcher’s callback, a man was heard yelling for help because his arm was reportedly out of its socket and possibly a second person was injured near the lagoon pavilion. Someone called back saying the people responsible were walking along the fence line. Officers planned to do extra patrol.

Someone trying to take children’s photos complained that bicycles, pallets, clothes and tarps strewn around the hill were ruining the photoshoot.

Five cars full of teens were reportedly hanging out in a parking lot behind a shop playing loud music, yelling, swearing, verbally fighting and refusing to quiet down when asked. Officers spoke with about 10 teens, whose feeble attempt to say another group was making noise, failed. The vehicles moved along.
