Law roundup: Woman isn’t going to teddy bear picnic

A woman called the Kalispell Police Department to report a suspicious young woman with bags of teddy bears who was allegedly hanging around a car shop and repeatedly looking into vehicles. The caller said she looked like she was “setting up there.”

A motel maintenance employee reportedly told police he told a man trying to sleep on a walkway to move along and he started swinging at him so he went to get a stick and the fight continued. The sleepy man claimed the employee got the stick after he had agreed to leave and started poking him with it so he swung back multiple times before fleeing when outnumbered. No one wanted to pursue charges. The man was banned from the property and given a courtesy ride to the mall.

A bushy-haired man with a goatee, who was wearing gray sweats, gray tennis shoes and two knives, decided to update his look by shoplifting. He went inside a store and put on new clothes and left on a bicycle without paying. He was ticketed for shoplifting and released.

Three teens allegedly sped around a parking lot and nearly slammed into a woman’s vehicle as she backed out of a spot and kept driving. When she got out of her vehicle and asked the trio what was going on, they became “super confrontational." One churlish teen told her to, “Shut the (expletive) up.”

Someone went to the police department to reportedly share concerns that a person the neighbors said was a petite woman was instead a 10- to 12-year-old girl “hiding” in a camper on their property. An officer drove through the area and saw a young woman who was small in stature and could have been misconstrued as a child.
