Law roundup: Store has receipts for man’s lifetime ban

A store customer allegedly swung at an employee. A manager was uncertain what the fight was about, speculating that the employee might have asked to see a receipt, but wanted the Kalispell Police Department to let the customer know he just bought himself a lifetime ban. 

A woman walked into a dealership alleging a vehicle in the back lot was hers and that her ex-husband “hid the car from her during the divorce.” She said she would return that evening to retrieve it. The employee said the car was not there for service but wanted the police to run the license plate/vehicle identification number before she returned. Officers said the vehicle did not come up as stolen and the plates matched the vehicle. 

While screaming at each other, a woman with red hair and shoes to match allegedly threw a scooter at a curly-haired man riding a black bicycle. She was ticketed and released by officers. 

A man wearing a dark-colored shirt and blue shorts and a woman wearing a pink dress, or body suit, were reportedly holding pizza boxes and walking around a building trying to open doors. Officers were unable to locate the mobile pizza party. 

A janitor reportedly found needles and a baggie containing white powder in the bin of a stall while cleaning the women’s bathroom.  

Five kids wearing shorts, and some wearing stocking caps or face masks, allegedly kicked a fence in. The group headed north but then returned in larger numbers, with about six or seven kids spotted by a neighbor. 

A woman reportedly told an officer that several houses in her neighborhood had fences vandalized and were wary of a small gray pickup, saying it could be parking on Three Mile Drive where people could access their backyards. 

Someone who called to report a theft where the suspect got away was allegedly able to identify her from photos posted on the jail roster and wanted officers to tell her she was banned from the store.
