Law roundup: Hotel guest opts for rustic experience

After apparently painting the town red, a hotel guest only made it as far as the floor of the second story hallway before making camp for the night. Employees told the Kalispell Police Department that when they asked the sleeping man to push on to his room, he swore at them. The tippler eventually summoned the strength to find his bed.  

Employees of another business alerted officers to a twentysomething man puking behind their location after reportedly having too much to drink. The workers were quick to tell officers that they were not serving the man. Authorities later banned the ill man from the premises.  

A motorist made it personal when they left a note in the window of their vehicle, which they parked without permission at an apartment complex. The property owner told officers that the message was addressed to them, instructing them to "[expletive] off." Officers walked the property owner through the towing process.  

A homeless person allegedly made camp in an elevator and left it damaged.  

Officers returned someone's keys.  

Another person was keeping their ex-boyfriend's keys, telling authorities that he had both a drinking problem and a suspended driver's license. She said she was calling to make sure she wasn't doing anything wrong by holding onto them. Officers ended up counseling both members of the former couple.  

A homeless man allegedly walked out of a store with a "very expensive leather jacket." He also tried to make off with a hat, but someone intervened, according to the person who called the police. Employees asked that officers ban him from the store but stopped short of pressing charges. Authorities later recouped the jacket.  

Officers stickered a pair of vehicles for parking violations after someone reported them left in the same spot for at least two weeks.  

A passerby reported seeing a woman shouting angrily and acting strangely in public.  

Officers were unable to locate a silver Audi allegedly speeding and using the turning lanes to pass other motorists.  

Employees of a hotel spotted someone seemingly falling asleep at the wheel of a blue Dodge SUV. The drowsy motorist had since parked in the hotel's lot and climbed into the back seat. 

A man with a ponytail walked to the parking lot of a mall and dropped off a puppy before leaving.  

A motorist was reportedly driving around a parking lot screaming at people, using profanities and racial slurs. Officers were unable to track down the vehicle, described as a white Toyota Corolla.  

Officers doused an impromptu fireworks show after a neighbor reported seeing teenagers using nearby athletic fields to play with pyrotechnics.
