Law roundup: Man claims he’s landlord of the county

A man wearing a gray hoodie was reportedly trespassing on a property where he tried to break into apartments and had a bicycle that was stolen. Kalispell Police Department made contact with the man and allegedly learned information to caution future officers that he wants to beat up “fake cops,” but didn’t know the difference between legitimate officers; wants a gun for protection; and thinks “he’s the landlord of the county and can enter any apartment or house and steal anything because he owns it all.”

Someone was allegedly uncomfortable with a man wearing a gun in a leg holster with an extra magazine, an oversized reflective coat and a camo hat because he seemed “mentally ill.” They wanted officers to check on him saying, “It just didn’t seem right.” An officer didn’t find anything wrong with what the man was doing.

A very agitated man reportedly tried to get into a locked gate, and, as he was leaving, said, “You all need to die and I’m going to kill you all.” Officers advised the man he was not allowed to be on the property while out with him on an unrelated incident.
