Law roundup: Man says he’d assault woman ‘if she was a man’

A man in a black lifted truck allegedly pulled up beside a woman in a parking lot and from his lofty perch started swearing and yelling at her, saying she almost hit his wife and that he “would have beat her up if she was a man.”

A woman called 911 and then flagged down a Kalispell Police officer, alleging her small dog was attacked by a larger dog whose owner then attacked her. She told the officer that during the incident, she announced she was going to kick the dog and a woman came over and pushed her. The aggrieved pet owner identified the allegedly pushy woman as a member of a nearby tattooed couple and told the officer that the aggressive dog belonged to them.

The other woman, though, claimed the small dog owner came in hot, yelling and cussing about kicking and killing a dog that was near her dog.  The small dog owner then reportedly got in her husband’s face, which is when she got between them and pushed her back.  

Multiple people in the park allegedly told the officer the small dog owner was the aggressor who acted disorderly. The officer spoke to her again and she adamantly denied being the aggressor but didn't want to pursue it further and said she was leaving, thus concluding the episode of dog park drama.  

A thief stole cigarettes.  

A resident had questions about a rooster. Officers left a voicemail stating that roosters are not allowed within city limits.  

A hotel employee asked police for assistance in moving along a man in his cups, who was reportedly sleeping in the dining room with a container of alcohol. After multiple tries, officers were able to get a ride service to take him home in Bigfork.  

A tenant reportedly returned home to find damage to the front and rear doors and there appeared to be damage to the neighboring unit.
