Law roundup: Man bent out of shape over smudge

A man got bent out of shape when a woman in an SUV reportedly opened her door and hit the mirror on his truck, telling the Kalispell Police Department she denied the transgression. Officers determined there was no damage, only smudged dirt, and the two were separated.  

A man was allegedly running around pulling his pants down. Officers counseled the man and noted he was “dressed, but possibly still has less clothes on than before.” 

A man was spotted stumbling down Main Street and walking into the road. When officers arrived, he was in the middle of the road giving people the middle finger. He received a ticket for his disorderly behavior. 

A drunk man in his late 60s was allegedly sprawled out among garbage on property where a person told officers he was being combative and wouldn’t leave. After gathering more information, officers harnessed resources to help him out and were advised Veterans Affairs in Missoula could help him. 

Two men were reportedly trying to break into rooms at a location where a manager said one of the men possibly had a master key. One man was wearing a large baggy coat and the other a blue puffy jacket.  

A property owner complained about ongoing issues with how mail was being delivered to his property. He claimed a postal worker parked a U-Haul on his lawn and wanted the vehicles prohibited from coming onto his property, adding that they were blocking traffic. He reportedly contacted the post office and employees denied using U-Hauls to deliver mail. 

Someone had questions about a lost cat named Snowflake. 

A man in his 70s allegedly refused to leave a location where he wasn’t a resident and was getting angry and cussing for five minutes before someone called the police. He was kicked out. 

A barely conscious man was allegedly found lying in an alley, gurgling and covered in mucus. Someone thought he might be overdosing and said he was hunched over and they were unable to get him to lie down. The man then ran away. 

A tan, male Labrador-pit bull puppy was reportedly hit and killed. Someone dropped it off at an animal clinic that said they would cremate after they didn’t find a microchip or other identification to locate an owner.
