Law roundup: Woman sick of parasitic brother

A woman was unhappy to learn she would have to go through the formal eviction process to kick out her brother who allegedly had been “living off her” for the past four years. 

A malcontent allegedly texted former coworkers threatening messages after being fired. Some statements were riddled with enough grammatical errors to muddy the context. One employee received a text from the man stating, “I have a bullet for you.” Texts received by other employees reportedly stated, “A bullet will be enough, I am going to end him;” or “We are going to crush you all.” The alleged texter did not answer calls from the Kalispell Police Department. A friend, though, told an officer the man was “just blowing off steam.” Police spoke with the city attorney who reportedly said the texts were too vague to be chargeable. The employee who initially called the police was advised they could apply for a temporary restraining order. 

Someone reportedly found a woman with blood on her face lying on the pavement beside a building. She told them she was not OK, but only wanted a ride to a restaurant when they asked her repeatedly if she needed an ambulance. She was taken to the hospital. 

Teens who were reportedly spray painting a pedestrian tunnel were turned over to their parents. 

Someone reported a suspicious vehicle driving down the street from their address to a church yet would not specify the church and told dispatch to “Google it” themselves because they didn’t care whether dispatch sent an officer out. They then hung up.  

A man wearing a green sweatshirt, brown pants and purple shoes reportedly stole food and drinks for the second time in one day and had a conspicuous habit of punching the air. 

On another day, someone reportedly saw the man in the green sweatshirt and purple shoes running around screaming and grabbing his head, but no one else an officer spoke to in the area remembered seeing him. 

A resident allegedly came home to find freezer food on the counter and a wallet and drawers that had been rifled through. 

A resident reportedly woke up to the sound of someone wiggling the door handle at 1 a.m. and discovered a cryptic line of chalk drawn on the door. The resident noticed strangers “circling the block”  

A barefoot woman was allegedly walking around pointing her phone at people and screaming at someone who asked her to leave, so they called officers to kick her off the property. They said she was wearing pants and a bra, which they described as half-naked.
