Law roundup: Bar patron taps out in the bushes

A bar patron put his hands on someone and shoved another man. The man left after being told to go and was spotted partially lying in the bushes across the highway, which the Kalispell Police Department received a second call about. He later stumbled back across the street. 

Two men and a woman were allegedly dumping a powdery substance into the bushes and unloading things from a black sedan and a silver and gold SUV by a playground.  

A man allegedly went up to a vehicle and confronted a man and his son about “snooping around his camper,” and lifted his shirt, revealing a handgun in his waistband. He reportedly waved the gun around and got into a vehicle with a woman and left. The woman later returned and reportedly told officers he was armed but never pointed the gun, saying he “gets animated in arguments and waves his arm around," and consented to a vehicle search. No gun was located, and surveillance footage was too grainy to tell if a gun was drawn and pointed at the victim. 

A speeding Hyundai Elantra was reportedly driving recklessly, sandwiched between a bicyclist, who called the police, and another car southbound on Fifth Avenue West. 

A girl was reportedly ticketed and released to her mother after someone called police alleging eight people, who looked to be between the ages of 16 to 21, were drinking alcohol in an apartment building parking lot. 

A patient reportedly refused to leave a location, insisting an employee hand over her paper medical records. The employee called the police, alleging the woman was getting aggressive and said they sent her medical records to her electronically. The woman also called the police, saying she wanted assistance after the employee reportedly refused to give her a form to fill out to obtain her patient records. Officers advised her that she would have to pursue different avenues and was not welcome at the office for the remainder of the day.
