Law roundup: Property feud goes back three decades

Fed up with a longstanding feud with a neighbor, a resident asked the Kalispell Police Department to intervene. They accused their neighbor of regularly trespassing on their land for about three decades. Finding the neighbor out back the day prior, they told him to leave. He refused to go and started laughing, they said.  

A Helena resident phoned the police in Kalispell after their son-in-law's ex-girlfriend had buried them in a slew of calls and text messages. They initially reported the alleged harassment to authorities in Helena, who recommended they contact Kalispell to see if they could contact the estranged woman. After speaking with officers, the woman agreed to never call the Helena resident again.  

Kicked out of a relative's home, a woman asked for police help in retrieving her vehicle. She said she left it in her relative's garage and their vehicle was blocking it. She suspected they were disinclined to move it for her. Authorities arranged a time for the woman to collect her belongings under the watchful eye of officers.
