A cream-colored Ford pickup reportedly stopped at green lights, which led someone to suspect they might be driving under the influence, prompting them to call the Kalispell Police Department.  

A blonde woman with a tattoo on her neck reportedly walked up to a man she didn’t know in a casino and flashed a gun before getting into the passenger side of a black truck parked next to the dumpster. Officers detained and released three people.  

A male allegedly attacked a girl, cutting off all her hair, because he didn’t believe she was female. The line disconnected when dispatch asked for the caller’s location. They reached a voicemail on the callback and officers could not locate anyone.  

A backpack holding a container of gas was reportedly left at a customer service desk and someone called the police, saying they had no way to dispose of it. Officers collected the backpack.  

A hotel asked for police assistance in removing a woman who reportedly didn’t pay and was too drunk to leave the property.  

A family allegedly heard what sounded like someone walking around in the attic and went outside to wait for officers to arrive. The residence was cleared and no one was found.  

A passerby asked officers to check on the welfare of a man reportedly lying in the middle of an alley. The passerby said they asked if the man was OK, and he nodded, but they were unconvinced, saying he seemed “out of it.”  

A concerned parent called the police after a neighbor said they saw a female leaving in a white Subaru who allegedly left notes at apartments regarding her teenage child.  

A woman called the police more than once complaining about booming music, saying she was a 73-year-old with a heart problem and the noise was hurting her ears. She declined and ambulance. An officer told her an outdoor concert was being held and would be over in an hour. 

A man in his 30s wearing a “Scottish hat” allegedly punched someone’s vehicle window on the way into a store. No damage was reported to the vehicle. 

Males dressed in dark clothing reportedly walked up behind someone’s vehicle, looking inside, and then rang their doorbell before running away.
