Law roundup: Man’s offering is not person’s cup of tea

Someone out watering flowers downtown for the city reportedly had the misfortune of seeing a barefoot man with red curly hair urinate in a cup. To add insult to injury, the man allegedly held the cup up to them, asking if they wanted a drink. When they declined, he threw the urine against the wall, which they sprayed down with water. They asked the Kalispell Police Department to advise him not to “throw his urine on things downtown.” The man was counseled. 

A teen girl allegedly punched and pushed a woman, believed to be her mom, out of a blue Subaru Ascent.

The SUV swerved as it sped away, coming to a stop when officers laid down spike strips. 

Someone allegedly saw flames and thought a man with a propane tank in a shopping cart was trying to set something on fire in a parking lot. The man turned out to be a worker sealing cracks in the parking lot.
