People allegedly left a sign on a sidewalk that stated, “Everyone is going to hell.” A man called the Kalispell Police Department, claiming it was illegal, but he wouldn’t provide his name or phone number to be contacted by an officer. When he called back asking what was being done about the infernal situation he was once again advised that dispatch could have an officer contact him. Again, he declined.

A backseat passenger reportedly called the police when a woman kept screaming and yelling at a man sitting in the driver’s seat to get out of the van when he refused. The verbal disturbance also involved getting keys from a roommate. When dispatch asked if there were any weapons involved in the disturbance it was learned that there were a “handful of knives” in the driver’s side door. The caller changed her mind about reporting the incident, saying, “Cancel everything,” and hung up.

Someone reportedly parked a smoking, white Chevy Impala over a curb into Parkline Trail and the driver walked away from the high-centered car. It was towed.

An 18- or 19-year-old wearing a blue hat allegedly ran across a parking lot swinging a firearm around and hopped into a busted-up blue SUV parked in a handicapped spot. Officers made contact with three males in the SUV and located a BB gun in the back seat. A passenger said he just “wanted to have some fun.” Officers confirmed he was holding the BB gun and didn’t point it at anyone and counseled the trio.

A woman allegedly left a sleeping 3-year-old and an 8-year-old alone with a phone in a vehicle in a store parking lot for at least 30 minutes.

A Honda CRV reportedly hit a bicyclist, leaving plastic debris in the road. The bicyclist was able to stand and said he had elbow and knee pain.

Someone reportedly found a small sealed glass container with tiny whitish crystals inside it and brought it to the police department thinking it was methamphetamine. It was disposed of.

A baseball bat was allegedly found at a location where a new break-in was reported by the supervisor of a company who told officers that someone kept breaking windows and gaining entry and they requested extra patrol during the night.

A caller thought it was suspicious to see people go into a house empty-handed and leave with bags, alleging it was drugs. They reportedly counted about 15 different cars stopping at the house.

A man wearing a black backpack allegedly told officers he would be on his “best behavior” the rest of the day after someone complained about him yelling and swearing.
