Law roundup:Group allegedly gets high in greenhouse

A caretaker called the Kalispell Police Department when some transients set up shop in a man’s greenhouse and were possibly using drugs. The caller said they were still there after being told to leave five hours ago. Officers kicked three people off the property and advised a woman of her misdemeanors in another county.

Someone with Homeland Security called Kalispell Police from the National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System after receiving continued calls from a man unable to have a lucid conversation with them to check on his welfare. 

The caller said he was talking about Flathead County and probation and advised two officers to go since he seemed unstable. 

Someone asked for extra patrol at a location where multiple older vehicles in disrepair and unhealthy-looking people were reportedly coming and going because they suspected drug activity. 

Dispatch answered a 911 call and heard a woman talking to someone about a threat involving being stabbed in the neck and gang rape. On the callback, a man answered and said it was the wrong number and he was in Evergreen. When dispatch pointed out that his phone was tracking to Third Ave. E. in Kalispell, he reportedly said, “I’m good,” and hung up.

A man reportedly requested medical assistance for frostbitten fingers.

A property manager reportedly found a man sleeping in the backseat of a vehicle. A cat responded to their knocking, but the man did not. An officer made contact with the man who said he lives out of his vehicle but doesn't stay overnight and works.

Store security alleged that a man returned merchandise and was refunded money for an incorrect item, calling it “refund fraud” and said he was still in the store. An officer said this was not fraud but a “coaching moment” for the clerk to verify merchandise returned was correct before giving a refund.

A woman was reportedly worried about throwing out belongings her ex-husband left behind years ago and told officers she gave him multiple deadlines to pick them up. She was advised that it would be a civil, not criminal issue if she threw the items out and there was an issue.

A woman reportedly called the police saying her husband went out with a .22 because he thought he might have to shoot a neighbor’s Pomeranian and husky mix when it attacked their chickens. She said he didn’t want to shoot the dog but was running out of options when it kept coming on the property. 

A chicken was missing some feathers but was alive. The apologetic neighbor told the officer, who counseled her, that she was having issues with her electric fence and asked for solutions.

An employee wanted officers to pick up a bicycle that was stashed under the porch for about a week.
