Law roundup: Loud truck fills man with fiery rage

A  man with a fiery temper allegedly threatened to burn down a neighbor’s house because their vehicle was too loud. The neighbor reportedly took a semi-automatic pistol out of his truck and put it in his pocket, threatened to kill him.

A man called the police alleging that “hobos were doing drugs in the park” and saw a glass pipe and torch. He claimed they said they would “make him disappear” if he came near them and saw a box cutter. Officers went to the scene and did not see any signs of drug use or misbehavior. 

A van reportedly continues to throw loads of trash in a store’s dumpsters. An employee told officers they had authorization to press charges for theft of services.

A man woke up to find his garbage can missing and drove through the area to search for it. Seeing no sign of it, called the police to report it as stolen. He also called the City of Kalispell Public Works Department for a replacement.

A man driving a pickup allegedly called the police yelling and cussing about a “mini snowplow” running him off the road causing the pickup to get stuck. With assistance from officers and the man’s son, they were able to free the pickup.

A passerby reportedly saw a woman wearing a pink coat and black Spandex “yelling at nothing” and told the police that they didn’t think she was dressed for the weather. She declined any help from officers and walked away.

A child reportedly dialed 911 and dispatch heard a woman saying, “You called 911. What are you doing?” when the call disconnected. Dispatch’s callbacks went to voicemail after two rings. A history of 911 hangups was associated with the phone number.
