Law roundup: Woman’s allegation sounds like movie trope
A landlord allegedly went into a woman’s apartment while she wasn’t there and changed a lightbulb without permission. The tenant called the Kalispell Police Department alleging that the landlord didn’t screw the fixture down all the way and it fell, which she took to mean that he was trying to kill her.
A woman wearing a big red bow in her hair was reportedly “causing a ruckus” when she tipped over a cart, the contents spilling into the road, and began throwing stuff at cars. She purportedly scared a mother and daughter as she walked toward them dragging a stick and then sat down in the middle of an intersection.
A resident called the police claiming an older homeless man, holding two large white bags, looked into their window and said they had his image on a security camera. The man told officers he was from out of town and was out with his grandson walking the dog and looking for his daughter’s house when the canine spotted a squirrel close to the resident’s home. The man said he never left the sidewalk when the mistrustful resident came out “shouting nonsense.”
Two women reportedly stole dog treats, hygiene products and vitamins. They were banned from the store for a year.
A man with face tattoos in a silver Chevy Trax allegedly threw an Allen wrench at a man’s Ford Mustang, damaging it, on U.S. 93.
Someone was reportedly worried that something happened to a “younger girl” with a shopping cart of belongings who had been hanging out at a location for the last couple of days when they noticed she wasn’t around but left behind the still-full cart and some belongings spread around a field. She was advised that the woman was in jail.
An allegedly chubby-cheeked woman wearing lots of rings and a “fancy hat with a sparkly band” was reportedly camping in someone’s yard.
Someone reportedly etched profanities on the back of a box truck parked at a man’s home and then let the air out of the tires. He asked officers to do extra patrol during the night and early morning.
