Law roundup: People get strange visits at witching hour

Someone allegedly went into a resident’s apartment while they were asleep and stole their home and work keys. The resident thought the individual used the manager’s keys to gain access.

A woman reportedly closed her garage door at night only to wake up and find it open and asked the Kalispell Police Department for extra patrols. 

A woman allegedly tried to enter a man’s house at midnight. The man had security footage of the uninvited visitor.

A woman reportedly pounded on the resident’s window, saying she lived there too. The resident told officers she pounded on the window twice to scare their kitten and they were scared for their safety. The landlord went outside but returned while the woman got comfortable outside and sat in a chair for hours. The property owner asked officers to kick her off the property, which she was, in addition to being told the civil standby process to collect her things.

A man reportedly punched and kicked another man in an alley while a woman tried to break up the fight. The man allegedly throwing the punches was described as having “scraggly hair” and wearing a black sweatshirt with white text. Officers spoke to someone at the scene who said the disturbance was verbal only.

Sports fans looking to park their cars to attend a game reportedly moved “no parking” signs. An upset individual called officers wanting the vehicles ticketed and the drivers educated.

Someone reportedly stole a phone from a shopping cart in a store parking lot.

A disgruntled man whose vehicle was allegedly ticketed after not moving it within 72 hours called wanting to know the law. After the 72-hour rule was explained he still was not satisfied and wanted to talk to an officer. An officer called him but could not leave a message because his mailbox was full.

A shoplifter reportedly on a first-name basis with police was cooperative with store security who called the police requesting she be advised she was not welcome to shop there.
