A woman complained that her Bluetooth-enabled washing machine wasn’t working; the property manager wasn’t answering his door and she didn’t have contact for the Idaho-based company. She reportedly asked officers with the Kalispell Police Department to check on the property manager’s welfare but was more concerned about washing her dirty laundry. Officers told her he was probably not working due to the holiday and if she couldn’t get a hold of him the next day to call back.

Meanwhile, another woman found herself in a dirty situation when someone reportedly threw dog feces at her door. She alleged it was a neighbor but was unable to provide evidence. 

A mother's 15-year-old daughter was reportedly spotted by a family friend in a man's Chevy Impala, speeding at 80 to 90 mph and passing vehicles unsafely on U.S. 93. The mother told police she gave her friend, who was following the car, permission to "drag" the teen out of the vehicle if the driver stopped. The parent was unsure if her daughter went with the vehicle willingly. Officers reportedly stopped the vehicle on Montana 35 in Helena Flats where the man was ticketed for reckless driving and made aware of his warrant. The teen was returned to her parents. 

Five high school teens were allegedly terrorizing a store. An employee told officers it was an ongoing issue. 

Trash mixed with pills was allegedly found in a parking lot. 

Someone called 911 on a deactivated cellphone to say, “Hi.” Dispatch thought the voice sounded like a female’s or child’s. Officers drove by the area where the call originated but did not see anything out of the ordinary that would require law enforcement assistance. 

A man walking around a store was allegedly scaring employees and customers when he tried to pat down a woman and go through her purse, yelling that she had something that belonged to him. He then went outside to sit in a vehicle and sulk. Officers talked to the woman who said they were just having an argument.
