Law roundup: Man's approach to reckless driver is rocky

A man called the Kalispell Police Department aggravated over a woman who allegedly passed him when it wasn’t safe, throwing rocks up at his vehicle. He told the dispatcher he was following her and wanted to confront her. When the dispatcher advised him multiple times not to do either, saying rocks fly up and hit vehicles all the time, he hung up. A callback went to voicemail. When connected again, he wanted to sign a complaint for reckless driving.

The person told the officer they didn’t see a child seat.
