Law roundup: Irate man needs a cold shower

A man on a black bicycle reportedly threw a tantrum on Ninth Street West, yelling about being ripped off for a shower. Columbia Falls Police Department officers were alerted that the man, who was in his 30s, could be confrontational with law enforcement and was known to carry a hatchet. Officers advised him of a warrant and told him he couldn’t be on the property, or he would be ticketed for trespassing. 

A few teens allegedly threw icy snowballs at someone’s vehicle that was driving up a hill. The driver said they had photos of the boys who were walking toward a waterfall at a bank. 

Someone called police “wondering why nothing was done” about 18- to 25-year-olds hanging around a park parking lot, swearing, drinking, fighting each other, urinating and flashing children. The caller complained that the alleged offenders already left the park.
