Law roundup: Man challenges stranger to defend girlfriend’s honor

A man and his girlfriend called the Kalispell Police Department after allegedly receiving disturbing texts from an unknown number where someone threatened to shoot up their house and throw pipe bombs at it. The man said his girlfriend had received multiple “vulgar sexual texts” from the phone number and he had texted back challenging the individual to a fistfight to “defend her honor.”

A woman was shocked when she went downstairs and saw a 6’2” tall man wearing dark pants and a dark coat in her home. The man went on the porch and began yelling at her husband, who went to confront him. The man was detained.
