Law roundup: Man pays $2K in alleged warrant scam

Someone in Columbia Falls might have fallen for a scam after reportedly paying someone $2,300 who called him claiming to be a police chief and instructing him to go to a “bond teller” to get the money because he had warrants out for failure to appear. Once he paid, the caller immediately hung up, which made him suspicious it was a scam.

A man was reportedly yelling about having a gun and sending people to hell in Kalispell. The man told Flathead County Sheriff’s Office he was upset that people he used to know in the area had been evicted, but he denied yelling about having a gun or harming people.

A man with a machete was allegedly refusing to leave a Kalispell house and tried to take the lock off the front door.

A man with blood on his hands and head was walking around Kalispell. 

A southbound lane in Lakeside was reportedly “full of” nails and screws.

A man calling from Kalispell complained about a dog that allegedly tried to bite him every time he went outside and the owner wasn’t doing anything about it. He told deputies he was tired of it and if nothing changed soon he was going to shoot the dog.

A Kalispell woman was having ongoing issues with neighbors she didn’t know allegedly yelling racist things to her but didn’t want to talk to a deputy and hung up.
