Law roundup: People who are not about that RV lifestyle
A man complained that an RV with no license plates was parked by the mall and had a cord plugged into the building despite contacting security about moving it along. The cantankerous caller said he paid $1 million in taxes and would move the RV himself if the Kalispell Police Department didn’t do anything. Police told the man that although the RV was a suspicious eyesore, it was legally parked on another property whose owners would have to be the ones to remove the vehicle and its occupants. He was “frustrated but encouraged” to work with the business in coming to a resolution.
A brown- and cream-colored camper van set up residence by a hotel despite signs that stated “no overnight parking” and the property owner’s repeated requests to leave the premises. After a week, the frustrated property owner told police the occupants it was costing money to clean up after them and their shopping carts full of stuff. Three occupants were officially banned from the property and advised about their warrants.
A green Toyota Tacoma reportedly tried to run a bicyclist off the road while two juvenile chuckleheads looked and laughed at the woman.
Someone driving by a store reportedly saw an unsupervised 5-year-old in an alley and stopped him from crossing the road. The child, who lived nearby, was told by an officer to stay in his yard and not talk to strangers.
A man was ticketed for peeing on the front steps of a building.
An aggressive black lab was allegedly running around the dog park for a half hour and tried to bite a responding officer several times.
A man found a Breville Home espresso machine still in the box in the front yard of his business. He posted his discovery on social media in case anyone out there was missing their caffeine fix.
A woman allegedly asked if officers could continue to move along homeless people at her place of work before she arrived in the morning since it was an everyday occurrence that they would camp out, litter and “destroy the property.”
