Law roundup: Woman wants sign returned for ‘toilet tree’

A woman complained to the Kalispell Police Department about someone removing a sign she posted by a tree near her house that was reportedly “being used as a toilet.”

Officers responded to a report of a male allegedly defacing a building with a blue substance. An officer located the man with blue spots on his hands and jacket. He told the officer he was filling in graffiti, a name scrawled in black on the building, with the blue, which he said would wipe off.

A woman with two children in the backseat of her vehicle was reportedly falling asleep at the wheel and swerving all over the road.

A welfare check was requested for a man who allegedly fell in front of a vehicle and stumbled down an alley before sitting near some bushes. The man said he was fine and declined any law enforcement assistance.

Officers received a call, not too long after, for a welfare check on a man reportedly rolling around on the ground. An ambulance was called when he didn’t respond to people checking on him. When officers arrived, the very intoxicated man was responding but began foaming at the mouth. He was taken to the hospital.

A physical fight someone allegedly heard across the street turned out not to involve people, but dogs. An officer impounded a male pit bull mix on a leash. The owner was located, issued a citation and notified about the 10-day quarantine period.

Two boys were reportedly passing time by ringing someone’s doorbell and running away.

Two dirt bikes were allegedly being ridden on football and baseball fields.

A woman out mowing people’s yards reportedly thought two men in a truck were following her but later believed they were washing windows at residences before they left the area.

Officers responded to a report of a shirtless man allegedly slamming his body into a door that a woman was trying to hold closed. Officers spoke with everyone at the scene and learned that parents were playing a game with their child.

A ’90s Ford truck with no tailgate was allegedly swerving across lanes.
