Law roundup: Neighbor cooks up a wild tale of possible meth lab

A neighbor with a nose for trouble phoned the Kalispell Police Department to inform them of their suspicions that the people in the yellow house down the street were cooking methamphetamine. While they could not smell anything specific, they did see the neighbors smoking from a bong and stirring a big pot. And there was a camper on the property with someone living in it, they said. Officers investigating the complaint discovered that the suspicious neighbors were marking St. Patrick’s Day by cooking corned beef.

Dogs belonging to a pair of homeless people allegedly attacked another resident’s canines near the Parkline Trail. Officers passed the case off to animal control. 

Authorities headed to a local law office for a report of a woman pacing back and forth on the front steps and yelling. Arriving officers found her on the building’s balcony. She left soon after.
