Law roundup: 911 caller instructed on how to look up phone numbers

A Kalispell man called 911 complaining about six or eight people with megaphones pointed toward the golf course who were proselytizing about Jesus. Dispatchers countered by warning the caller twice about misusing 911 and they provided him with the non-emergency phone number. Dispatch also gave instructions on how to look up phone numbers. The man replied that he wouldn’t have to call 911 if someone called him back two weeks ago “as promised.”

Ongoing issues of possible drug activity at the neighbors combined with bad weather conditions reportedly led to vehicles getting stuck in the middle of the road and people having to run up to the house in Kalispell, according to a call received by Flathead County Sheriff’s Office.

Someone called 911 to report a bald eagle that was still alive after being hit in Columbia Falls. They were given a phone number for the “bird lady rescue.”
