Law roundup: Woman intuits her intuition might be off

A woman reading an article about a drug ring getting busted wide open phoned the Kalispell Police Department saying she thought authorities had missed a few culprits, including her ex-husband. How did she come to that conclusion? Her intuition, she told officers. After thinking about it for a few moments, though, she decided he likely wasn't involved.  

A thief allegedly made off with about $550 in goods left in a vehicle overnight.  

Officers checked out a property after employees of an alarm company reported an individual trespassing in a fenced-off area. They only found a construction worker, who explained he was there to perform construction work. 

The owner of a truck believed he had become the target of miscreants after vandals struck his vehicle for the third time.  

After getting chewed out by a stranger while walking her dog around the Flathead County Fairgrounds, a woman called the police to find out if she was allowed to be on the grounds with her pooch. She said she walked her pet there regularly without incident.  

Officers moved along a septuagenarian man who was allegedly hanging out around a business with a walker and soliciting money.  

A disagreement between a cabbie and a passenger turned into an argument that eventually came to blows. Neither wanted to press charges, though. Officers recommended they keep their distance.  

Someone claiming to own property in town told officers that he heard from security that a crackhead was hanging around. 

A passerby told officers they spotted a likely drunk driver. Authorities met with the motorist, who displayed no signs of impairment.  

A caller said they spotted an individual they thought they recognized as wanted for child sex abuse but couldn't recall the name. But they did remember the person suspected of the abuse was from Hungry Horse, possibly. Anyway, he was with a woman that the caller suspected was on drugs. The evidence? The caller could "see through her soul." Officers determined there was not enough information to investigate the couple.  

Authorities banned a man from a big box store after he allegedly became confrontational with security personnel, leveling threats at them.  

A resident said a group of people driving by his property and tossing items on it were harassing him because he once called them out for smoking marijuana at the basketball court. He said the harassment had already resulted in his vehicle getting damaged. Officers agreed to mount extra patrols in the area.
