Law roundup: Pre-dawn preachers spread the word

Using a megaphone to amplify their message, a group of people were shouting Bible verses at a park in Kalispell. The public preaching occurred around 5 a.m., which the reporting party found quite annoying.

The recent foggy weather must have put area dogs in a tizzy. One pup was repeatedly chasing cars up and down a street in Whitefish. Another frisky Fido was on the loose in Kalispell, allegedly breeding with other dogs in the neighborhood. A seemingly unfriendly black lab threatened a Kalispell chicken coop, and in Somers a yapper was yapping all night. And finally back in Whitefish, a hiker declined medical assistance after suffering a bad bite.

A pair of storage units were ransacked in Kalispell after someone cut the locks.
