Law Roundup: People likely cooking food, not meth

A woman complained of becoming lightheaded from a strong acetone odor emanating from a neighbor’s apartment into the hallway. The pungent odor was likely coming from people cooking food, not meth as she believed. The Kalispell Police Department said there wasn’t evidence of drug activity based on previous contact at the location. 

A man called the police alleging drivers, whom he didn’t know, were “zooming around the area to aggravate him, noting that, “everywhere he goes people harass him.” Dispatch suggested the zooming noises might be coming from a car cruise on Main Street and was unsure what he wanted to be done. Irritated, he said he didn’t need an officer to contact him because he was contacted by someone asking “the same annoying questions” and then “didn’t do anything.”  

A woman wearing a black sports bra was allegedly “walking oddly” while “dropping things in various trashcans and watering the ground.” 

A woman allegedly took a young heeler out of a blue Ford F150 truck bed parked at a store and brought it to a grassy, shaded area, telling police it sat in the sun for at least 25 minutes, panting and whining “frantically.” The owner may have returned when she stopped listening or talking to dispatch and was heard having a heated argument about the dog’s treatment before taking the dog and leaving. Officers responded and answered the woman’s questions.  

Later, officers received a call from someone with questions about a woman taking their dog out of their truck and berating them.  

A woman with a sleeping bag and cart was reportedly falling asleep at a park picnic table and had earlier been asking people to use the bathroom. The man calling in the complaint alleged that he stepped in human feces earlier while out using a weed eater, noting he didn’t “want this to turn into the next Woodland Park.” She still had a few more hours until the park closed at 11 p.m. but was advised about the park rules, nonetheless.
