Law roundup: The customer is not always right
Store employees phoned the Kalispell Police Department after a customer began threatening other patrons and subsequently refused to leave the business. As they asked officers to move the man along and ban him from the property, the irate customer started knocking items off of shelves and trying to fight the workers. He allegedly hit one of them before the authorities arrived. The man ended his shopping trip in the county jail.
Hearing a woman scream "get out of my van" while in a parking lot, a passerby phoned the police. They told officers that the woman was standing by a white van, yelling "Help" and "Get this man out of my van." Arriving officers spoke to both the woman and the man, learning that the commotion grew out of an argument.
An employee asked to speak with the police about money disappearing from the company's bank account. They accused a man of stealing it, though they later acknowledged he had access to the bank account.
