A drunk driver allegedly pulled into a stranger’s driveway, telling the resident who came outside asking her what she was doing that she was trying to avoid being pulled over by a Columbia Falls Police Department cruiser  following her. 

A man reportedly called the police for assistance in getting back a firearm suppressor delivered to the wrong address. The caller allegedly tried contacting the person who signed for the package and spoke with their daughter who thought he was a scammer. An officer advised him “not to contact us with any further information.” 

Some spiteful girls reportedly stole about $100 from another girl and rode away on their bicycles. 

A confrontational man wearing a wool sweater allegedly walked into a store after closing time, sat at the bar and threatened an employee, refusing to leave. An officer spoke with the man who claimed he woke up at the business and was part owner, adding that he was tired of dealing with police who purportedly shot him three times this year. 

Tools reported stolen in a 2020  felony theft case were allegedly found in a pawn shop by the owner’s friend and the items still had his name and identifying marks on them. 

Someone saw a man standing knee-deep in a marsh alleging that it appeared he was engaging in a sexual act but was instead experiencing a medical issue and agreed to go to the hospital when the Kalispell Police Department found him disoriented, uneasy on his feet and unable to remember how he got there, where he parked his vehicle or family members’ names. 

Customers were allegedly uncomfortable around a man under the influence of drugs who was outside the business picking up rocks and throwing them back on the ground. He was also spitting. 

People were reportedly dumpster diving at a thrift store location where a man was heard coughing inside it. Officers talked to a man who took items out only to put them back after recalling a sign that any property taken would be considered theft. 

A man allegedly sleeping in a blue Nissan pickup with a pellet rifle in the passenger seat on Liberty Street was told to move along. 

Someone complained about teenagers having a Chihuahua and another small dog off-leash at a park.
