A Whitefish Police Department officer spoke to gym employees about an alleged road rage incident between a woman and a man with a gun; however, a gun was not visible to police at any time while reviewing security footage. The woman reportedly said she pulled out in front of a man at a four-way intersection when he flipped her off, and because she “does not have the best patience,” she returned the sentiment. She then yelled at him to “leave her valley.” Officers counseled her on her behavior.  

An officer followed up with an incident where a man allegedly told another man that if he “gets out he was going to kill and bury him in the woods.”  

An RV was allegedly blocking a Lupfer Avenue resident’s driveway. An officer didn’t see any other infractions outside of the RV being parked with the driver’s side door facing the curb.  

A woman reportedly thought a man followed her home and called police before going inside.  

Officers secured a Swell Wakesurf brand trim adapter valued at $400 that was reportedly left at City Beach.  

A vehicle reported stolen was allegedly found parked by a hospital entrance with the keys on the ground and no one around.  

Officers called back a phone number with an extensive history of 911 hangups on Lupfer Avenue and got loud static on the other lines.  

Someone complained to Columbia Falls Police Department about RV revelers playing loud music around a campfire.  

Someone reportedly turned in an NRS brand kayaking life jacket that their friend reportedly grabbed by mistake when dropped off near a tourist attraction on U.S. 2 E.
