Law roundup: No parking sign confounds limo driver

City workers planning to perform work on underground utilities put up a "no parking" sign to keep the area clear. But they told the Kalispell Police Department that when they returned, they found a limousine parked in the way. Officers reached out to the driver, who told them that she was at a doctor's appointment. She agreed to move the limo when she got home.  

Tired of people "slandering" them online, a resident told officers they would forward screenshots of the harassment via email.  

Concerned that emergency services would be unable to access a street because of motorists parking on either side of the pavement, a resident asked the police to rectify the situation. An officer drove through to check it out and noted the influx of curbside parking likely stemmed from efforts to clear a nearby apartment complex's parking lot of snow.  

A woman petitioned the police for a trap to capture the raccoon living in her home.  

Officers cited a motorist for ignoring a stop sign.  

Authorities attempted to have a seemingly abandoned vehicle towed after first putting a 72-hour parking sticker on it, but none of the tow companies agreed to take it.  

Confronted with someone driving 15 mph on West Idaho Street, a motorist decided the driver must be drunk or on drugs and phoned the police. 

A resident disputed a citation issued by the authorities, saying that the individual who initiated the complaint had undertaken a campaign of harassment against her.  

Spotting a woman pushing an empty wheelchair on the side of the road, a concerned passerby contacted the police and asked for a welfare check. The woman was fine and officers recommended she stay closer to the shoulder of the road.  

After a classmate dumped a bottle of urine on her son while they were on the school bus together, a mother turned to the authorities. It wasn't the first time the other child had bullied her kid, she said.  

A neighbor turned in a group of people living in a dumpy trailer in a residential neighborhood, telling officers that the interlopers had set up a generator the day prior. Officers advised the urban campers to get a move on.  

A resident accused a house guest of making off with two blankets and refusing to return them.
