Law roundup: Mysterious holes chalked up to squirrel hunting

Though they suspected it was someone shooting at squirrels, a resident asked the Kalispell Police Department to check out a trio of BB holes found in their bathroom window and a fourth made in the spare bedroom window. She believed the damage occurred the night prior. Disinclined to pursue it as a criminal matter, the resident mostly wanted a report made so that she could contact her insurance company.  

Taking a snooze on a park bench earned a man in a maroon jacket and green plaid pajama pants a talking-to from the police after a passerby reported him. The passerby told authorities that he had seen the man before and he often was riding a different bicycle. Today he had a maroon Haro BMX bicycle that the passerby suspected was stolen.  

Concerned about a woman who was apparently spending her days outside a home across the street and snapping photos of everyone who passed by, a neighbor asked the police to investigate. The neighbor was particularly concerned that the woman might be photographing minors and posting it on social media. Officers learned that the woman was finalizing a divorce, but still lived at the address with her soon-to-be ex-husband, just in the backyard. She had been using the front porch that day to dry her items. 

Officers investigated a camp set up just to the east of Graffiti Rock.  

Employees of a construction firm discovered that a thief had cleaned out two of the company's trailers overnight.  

Officers checked in on a veteran that no one had heard from in 48 hours and discovered that he was fine, but having phone troubles.  

The owner of a dog that chased and bit a woman a day earlier contacted the police hoping to apologize to the victim.  

A man accused of hitting a woman and pulling a knife on an intervening bystander was taken to the Flathead County Detention Center. 

When her adult son arrived back on the family property despite being banned, a mother turned to the police for help. She said he was on her porch in his underwear and apparently resting on a blanket. Officers escorted the man to the county jail.  

Sick of looking at a bus left parked in a nearby yard since the 1990s, a resident wanted to know if it violated the city's updated junk vehicle ordinance.  

Thieves made off with a pair of bicycles after breaking into a storage unit.  

Officers let a woman with a history of shoplifting know she was no longer welcome at a grocery store.  

An overzealous rooster earned the ire of a neighbor. Animal control officers left a note for the bird's owner.
