Law roundup: Police respond to reported ‘tweaker activity’

Kalispell Police Department responded to a report of alleged “tweaker activity” where two men and a woman were seen tearing apart the inside of a white Nissan sedan and then trying to jump it. The person calling in the report said they were also in the grass fighting. Officers determined the people were working on the vehicle that had previously been reported abandoned at a church.

A man was spotted in a store who was allegedly part of a scheme to buy fraudulent gift cards and an employee told police he bought a gun there the previous night. He was detained and released without a citation, however, he did receive a lifetime ban from the property. 

A woman was disconcerted by two guys reportedly carrying automatic weapons in a parking lot because they were “so close to the general public” with “guns like that.” She allegedly said she understood there was probably nothing illegal about this and didn’t want contact from law enforcement. Police called her anyway, leaving a voicemail, trying to get more information.
