Law roundup: ‘Teen Wolf’ homage greeted with a reprimand

A group of teenagers promised to show better judgment on the road after officers with the Columbia Falls Police Department came across their pickup at a gas station following a reckless driving report. According to the report, at least one teen was seen surfing in the back of the truck. Officers found the driver and five teens buckled inside the truck and another five teens in the vehicle’s bed (they ran out of room in the cab, the group explained). The ensemble had just come from high school. Officers counseled the gaggle on their behavior and told them to knock it off, to which the students quickly agreed.

Officers responded to a tattoo parlor for a report of an unauthorized entry through the back door.

A motorist got off with a citation during a traffic stop after officials at the county jail told officers they lacked the room to take another inmate.

A woman on the receiving end of a tow called authorities after phoning several companies to find out where her vehicle ended up without success. Officers spoke with employees of the store where the vehicle was towed from and located the correct company for the woman.
