Law roundup: Fence hopping dog caught in the act

A resident told officers with the Kalispell Police Department about ongoing troubles with a neighbor’s dog. The animal chased deer, his dog and got into the trash. When officers confronted the dog’s owner about it jumping the fence, she denied that her pooch could do such a thing. The officers responded by pointing out that the dog had just cleared the fence to greet them. At that the pet owner confessed and officers walked her through possible solutions, including getting a higher fence. They also warned her of potential citations if the situation went unresolved. 

Officers released a man that set off a security alarm in a building after verifying he was a tenant.  

Someone called dispatchers looking for answers and seemed upset about not getting any. She asked to speak with an officer.
