Law roundup: Only weirdos in the building

A woman reportedly wanted the Kalispell Police Department to run a warrant check on a “weirdo in the building” who was talking about meth and killing people. The man, who was in the building’s casino, left, and the woman was advised that police wouldn’t run a warrant check solely on her assessment that he was talking about weird things.

A resident reportedly woke up to find a Ziploc bag containing a pamphlet with an image of a dead person at her front door and didn’t want to touch it. She noticed a bag was on her neighbor’s porch too. Officers collected the bag and pamphlet, which had statements about fentanyl, the Mexican cartels and contained other “pro-white” and “anti-immigrant/foreigner” content.

A man called the police rambling about his fear of being stabbed by a man who allegedly accosted him at a store and walked with him for about 10 minutes, saying random things like that he was Jupiter. The caller became angry when dispatch tried to get clarification about the situation and rambled on, saying, “I’m sorry if this doesn’t seem real to you, but I don’t want to get stabbed.”

Police received a report about a drone reportedly flying at the end of an airport runway. A pilot said it was a big safety concern and wanted officers to identify the person operating it. They said the drone appeared to be flying from the west toward Second Avenue West.

Officers responded to a complaint about a Jeep with no license plates that was parked on the curb in front of someone’s house for a few weeks and encountered a “construction nightmare” with parking and streets blocked off due to roadway paving. The officer planned to wait until streets were open again to start stickering cars to move.

A man who looked drunk allegedly pulled into a parking lot and someone was concerned he would get back in the vehicle and continue driving. An officer found the man in his vehicle, which was turned on, and he told them he was just getting his phone before walking home. The officer still counseled him about the consequences of driving drunk.

A man was allegedly following women outside a business asking for their phone numbers. Someone said it was the second time he came to the location and the previous day he came in five times and people felt uncomfortable around him.

A manager reported “weird activity” involving about six people, who looked “tweaked out” in the parking lot and took photos out of concern there was drug activity going on. An officer advised one of the women in the group about her warrant and was given a lifetime ban by the manager.

A business allegedly had ongoing issues with two men drinking alcohol by the garbage cans.

Officers responded to a report of six kids around 11 years old who selected a woman’s house to repeatedly play ding-dong ditch. Officers spoke with the kids and gave them stickers.

Two cars were racing each other on the bypass.
