Law roundup: Adults and children monkey around in the trees

The Flathead County Sheriff's Office received a report that three middle-aged men, two children and one woman were purportedly climbing a woman’s trees in Kalispell. 

What was thought to be a dead bald eagle lying in the road in Whitefish was still alive and Fish and Game was dispatched to the scene. 

Someone calling from Whitefish allegedly told deputies they were with the Democratic party and signs they put on a resident’s fence had been ripped off and left on the ground. They said they knew the homeowner. 

Someone reportedly kept finding loosened lug nuts and lug nuts removed from vehicles parked out front of a Kalispell property. They said there was an ongoing issue with people trying to steal tires. 

A man allegedly lying in the middle of a Kalispell road bleeding from the mouth was dragged off the road by someone who said they saw another man grab a bag out of a truck and run away. The man on the road allegedly appeared intoxicated and denied being assaulted. 

A woman washing dishes in her Kalispell house was startled by a strange woman who reportedly walked in through the front door and didn’t immediately leave. 

A transient allegedly caught a squirrel and wanted to give it to a Kalispell Police Department officer who advised her to let it go. 

A resident was suspicious that a woman in a black SUV parked at an intersection was a drug dealer and lit something up inside the vehicle. The woman told an officer she was just dropping off books at a book exchange. 

Someone's teenage daughter reportedly saw a man in his 40s or 50s lying in the parking lot masturbating next to a bicycle. The man was cited and released by officers. 

A suspicious man allegedly holding a bag of screwdrivers and looking into cars in a store parking lot caught the attention of an employee who told officers he was looking into vehicles. They said he had a gray Mercedes possibly containing drug paraphernalia. 

Two transients were reportedly drinking alcohol and making sexual comments to women attending a work picnic at a park pavilion and wouldn’t leave them alone. Police dumped the alcohol and counseled the pair about drinking in a city park and if they were caught doing it again they would be ticketed. The pair were ordered to leave the premises.
