Flathead County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a person on a bicycle dragging a black plastic bag and a box. 

Someone in Olney reportedly had a verbal agreement with a man to sell property and he gave them part of the money and took the items, saying he would later return to pay the rest, but, surprise, he never returned. 

A drunk woman was reportedly sitting in a parked car and drove away, headed toward U.S. 2 in Columbia Falls without using her turn signals. A bartender said the woman had at least five drinks after she walked into the establishment. 

Meanwhile in Kalispell, a man was allegedly passed out in a sedan with the driver’s side door and trunk open. 

A car reportedly swerved into dirt and grass on the left side of the road and almost hit another car on U.S. 93 in Kalispell. 

Deputies received a report about kids allegedly throwing something at another car. The kids, one of whom was wearing a mask, were reportedly in a car that was allegedly driving erratically and following the other vehicle in Kalispell before driving in the wrong lane of traffic on Hutton Ranch Road. 

A person who reportedly stole someone’s grille guard returned in a vehicle they thought was also stolen in Kalispell. 

A vehicle allegedly parked at the end of a driveway in Kalispell made the resident nervous about what they were up to when two people sitting inside occasionally got out and walked around the car before getting back inside.
