Law roundup: Woman wants out of cheesy situation

Cheese was allegedly thrown on a woman’s vehicle multiple times. Cheesed off, the woman had enough of the dairy drama and called the Kalispell Police Department, wanting it to stop.   

Officers were asked to check on the welfare of a woman who was reportedly running in circles — that is, until she ran into a fire hydrant.   

A skinny man wearing a camo-printed coat reportedly attacked someone’s friend, breaking his arm, and fled the scene on an electric bicycle. They didn’t know who the man was, but alleged he was rambling about how he was going to be “cleaning up the town.”   

A man in black allegedly tried to open doors on the north side of a bank. The man was moved along and a newspaper taken from him.   

A neighborhood busybody alleged her neighbor’s children were operating a lawnmower and was of the opinion they were not old enough. Oh, and she also thought the activity was “disturbing the peace.” Officers checked the area and saw an adult man mowing a yard.   

In another part of town, a neighborhood sleuth called the police to report suspicious activity at a residence where he reportedly saw multiple out-of-state vehicles and people going in and out of the place and bringing food and clothes to the residents. He told officers that it “appears like it's an operation.”   

A man riding a bicycle allegedly ran into the side of a green tow truck. Other than a scrape on his arm, he appeared to be OK.   

A woman wearing a camo sweatshirt reportedly poured coffee at a store, refused to pay for it, and took it into the bathroom where she demanded employees call the cops. She finally left when the manager asked her to go.   

A man and woman set up a tent near the rock wall at Lawrence Park and it wasn’t the first time. Officers advised the pair they were trespassing and moved them along. Multiple needles — not the kind from pine trees — were gathered and disposed of at the department’s sharps disposal container.   

Someone allegedly called an employee, saying, “You better say goodbye to your family.”    

A dog was reportedly abandoned at a property where all the doors were left open and junk scattered around the yard, which led neighbors to believe the residents were evicted or moved out.   

A vehicle with its hazards on allegedly drove around with a set of plastic steps stuck to the front. The driver reportedly thought he had a flat tire after pulling out of a parking spot and told an officer he would return the steps to the “honey store.”
