Law roundup: Dad in a scramble after taking child in Super Bowl showdown

Someone allegedly thought a “very angry” and intoxicated man carrying a baby while walking in the street, yelling, “shouldn’t be with a child” and called the Kalispell Police Department. He had gotten into a verbal argument over the Super Bowl and left with the child. A woman also left in a vehicle, trying to follow him. 

A man driving a navy truck reportedly couldn’t be bothered to secure a child in a car seat and let the child sit on his lap. He told police that he “only drove a short distance across a parking lot.” Officers counseled him about the dangers of not using the car seat.

A man reportedly took someone’s blue truck to run an errand and didn’t return. 

A man and woman were reportedly stomping around, slamming doors and yelling daily, much to a neighbor’s dismay. This time, the neighbor said they were arguing about things “being disgusting. The couple told officers they were arguing over cleaning chores and were headed to church.

A man allegedly heard grunting in the snow and complaining of possible hypothermia asked a woman to call for help. Officers requested medical personnel to respond and advised the woman of her warrant.

A woman reportedly thought sex traffickers were after her and called the police saying two trucks were following her; she had nowhere to hide and her phone was “sabotaged.” Officers made contact with her.

A man allegedly locked himself in a bathroom stall and made himself comfortable. Employees told officers he was in the bathroom for a while and his belongings were placed “all over.” He agreed to move along.

A tire fell off a woman’s vehicle and she called the police out of concern her insurance company was taking too long to arrange a tow and her vehicle was partially blocking traffic for the last hour. Eventually, she connected with a tow truck.

A camper with belongings hanging on the back was parked against a building and employees asked for police assistance to move them along.
