Law roundup: Boyfriend’s clumsiness irks girlfriend

A man — who reportedly doesn’t usually drink — drank a lot during a recent gathering of friends at the house he shared with his girlfriend. As the night unfolded, he allegedly broke the backdoor, played around with the propane tank and got yelled at “to stop messing with stuff.” His evening ended with a besotted stumble toward his girlfriend who slapped him across the face. He called the Kalispell Police Department to report the alleged assault. The couple slept in separate rooms that night.

A casino employee wanted police to walk through the building because a malodorous bunch in the building reportedly smelled of fentanyl, likening the odor to burnt plastic and old pennies. Officers didn’t see any signs of drug use.

A woman reportedly went to clean a property to rent it out and found a note that stated, “Thank you for leaving the door unlocked, unlocking the home for the union of my family,” and thought she heard someone, who she thought was a kid, kicking a door inside. Officers checked the residence, which was empty, but they found belongings someone left behind.
