Law roundup: Music, sirens and howls disturb the peace

After nearly two hours of reportedly blasting music, intermixed with an intermittent siren that set off the neighbor’s dogs, which started barking and howling, someone called the Kalispell Police Department to complain about the noise. The culprits of the cacophony turned out to be kids playing with a speaker. Officers advised them not to sound the siren and turn down the music. 

A silver Porsche allegedly sped past traffic at 100 mph.

Police received a call from someone who allegedly chased down kids riding small black and red motorcycles up and down the road at more than 60 mph in a residential area. The individual told police they were able to stop and talk to the kids, telling them to “knock it off.” 

Officers ticketed and released a man who reportedly pulled his pants down and urinated on the wall of a building.

A hay bale reportedly fell onto the southbound lane of the bypass.

A group of roughly 10 people allegedly surrounded someone, and a shirtless young male pulled a knife on them, stealing their money and some belongings, then rode away on bikes. A woman went home to call the police while her husband went to check on them.

Three dirt bikes and a motorcycle reportedly rode on sidewalks and landscaping, taking off from the bike path, which someone thought posed a public safety issue.

A man reportedly didn’t comply with an employee’s previous request not to return to the business and showed up again, so they called the police, asking that officers formally notify him to stay off the property.

A woman in the police department lobby reportedly became offended when asked to elaborate after rambling about her phone, a man near a building and having to go. She reportedly refused to provide the address of the building.

A Kent Chaos BMX-style bicycle with green pegs that was allegedly found months ago in an alley was left in detectives’ hallway. It was reportedly brought inside after a transient tried to steal it. It was tagged and put into storage.

A woman reportedly dialed 911 and then said, “Why did I call 911?” and hung up. Dispatch wanted to know as well and called her back to confirm an emergency response wasn’t needed.
