A man wearing a white tank top allegedly ran around a parking lot, kicking signs and screaming and yelling. Then he started dancing with his eyes closed.   

Kalispell Police officers received a later call about the man who was now allegedly throwing his arms around, jumping fences and going to residents' doors. A woman told officers he was in someone’s yard and a woman in the house was talking to him through the window.   

Two boys allegedly spent time outside shooting an airsoft gun and fireworks in a parking lot.  

A man reportedly refused to leave a store where he was trying to resolve issues with his phone service. After speaking with staff, an officer relayed to the man that the reason he was asked to leave was because of a corporate policy stating employees can't talk to customers who threaten legal action, which he did.  

Someone called 911 without an emergency. They were "just making sure" an elderly woman's disconnected phone worked for emergency purposes.  

A woman called the police after her son allegedly took her house and car keys. Despite his “grave concerns” about her driving, officers said he couldn’t just take her keys and said he was on the right track with filing paperwork through the DMV. He said he would give the keys back, “but reluctantly.”  

A long-haired man was allegedly hanging out in an alley behind a woman's house, kicking the fence. Officers moved him along.  

Someone called the police complaining that a group of about five motorcycles had reportedly sped around an area for at least 10 minutes. Officers followed the motorcyclists for about eight blocks and noted some individuals were speeding. The group told the officers they would try to be more respectful with the noise and speed.  

A red moped and a white Mustang were reportedly racing in a parking lot, and an employee told police it was getting "pretty rowdy." The pair moved along and were told not to return.
