Law roundup: Police sicced on disc golfers mistaken for homeless people

After getting into an argument with two men they suspected of being homeless, a college employee asked the Kalispell Police Department to intervene. Upon further investigation, though, the men turned out to be playing a round of disc golf on what they thought was a public park. Officers informed the employee that the area was open to public use, if not officially a public park, and told the golfers they were welcome to continue playing — if they agreed to stop swearing at college staff.

After following up, investigators learned that the vehicle was a food truck and there at the request of the apartment complex's management team. They told officers that they would find a new spot for the mobile eatery in the future.  

Officers headed to a medical center after the staff there reported treating a possible gunshot victim.
