Law roundup: Woman takes overpass for scenic overlook

Looking to expand her horizons, a woman decided to take in the view from an overpass. Her presence, though, concerned a passerby who alerted the Kalispell Police Department. Officers met up with the woman, who came over to talk with them. She said she was out enjoying the noise and the vista but agreed to head to greener pastures.  

Hoping to secure help in finding a cat with a Siamese face, a resident phoned 911 looking for animal control. Dispatchers let them know that animal control does not generally deal with cats. 

Realizing they left a building unlocked the night before, someone returned to make sure it was secure and thought they heard an individual inside. Officers unsuccessfully tried to wrangle up a Flathead County Sheriff's Office deputy with a drone but managed to clear the building anyway.  

An employee found a "very sweet" pit bull mix wandering around a church yard and wondered if someone could pick it up.  

Seeing the driver of a Hyundai nearly hit several people while traveling westbound on Center Street, a passerby told the police they suspected drunk driving. They said the person behind the wheel appeared to be drinking something out of a Big Gulp-style cup.  

Thieves made off with roughly $20,000 in tools from a trailer after breaking off the locks. The list of stolen goods included six Makita saws, a 13,000-watt Predator generator, three Max nail guns, two Stihl chainsaws and three reciprocating saws.  

Officers pulled over a gray Nissan Frontier after a passerby reported the motorist driving recklessly while a passenger hung out the window yelling obscenities.  

Someone spotted a gray car and tan pickup truck speeding through a park. They also allegedly ran a stop sign.  

An insomniac called 911 to report having difficulty sleeping.  

The owner of a firearm asked if her gun had turned up yet. Officers recommended she speak with the Police Department's evidence technician.  

After initially refusing to leave, a homeless man agreed to move along after a property manager phoned the authorities. The property manager still wanted the homeless man banned from the premises.  

A veterinarian contacted the authorities after a dog owner asked that they put the animal down after it allegedly bit someone. The animal was up to date on its rabies vaccine, but the owners could not afford rabies testing. It turned out to be a miscommunication of sorts. The dog never bit anyone. It was, however, sickly and the owners wanted it euthanized. They had mentioned that the animal nipped at someone, which prompted the veterinarian to alert the police.
