Law roundup: Man jumps out window to avoid cops

A man reportedly thought he had no other recourse than to jump out of a window when officers with the Kalispell Police Department knocked on the door of an apartment where someone complained about a man and woman yelling at each other. The woman told officers she and the man were going through a breakup and she didn’t know why he ran from law enforcement.

A woman allegedly had friends over to her apartment who were inappropriate and noisy, which led to a noise complaint and the building manager posting a notice on her door. The woman reportedly confronted a neighbor, yelling at them about being kicked out of her apartment and saying she “hoped they got shot” and was going to send a friend to go after them, threatening to destroy their backyard garden. The neighbor was afraid the aggressive woman would hurt them or their children and was advised to file for a temporary restraining order.

Someone reportedly saw an 18- or 20-year-old woman sleeping in an alley and strongly felt that someone should help her because she was young and seemed to have been homeless for a while. An officer checked on the woman who allegedly said she “wants to be a transient and does not want to work,” and her “family is worse than being on the street.” She was given a list of resources and counseled to contact Community Action Partnership to improve her living situation.
