Multiple “angels” reportedly broke into a woman’s apartment one morning, stole her groceries, fed her cat and flew away. She told the responding Kalispell Police Department officer this occurred seasonally. No evidence corroborating a burglary or a religious miracle was found. 

A man’s so-called friend was allegedly beating on his door after throwing a torch at his truck and smashed his windows. There was minor damage to the truck, but the man did not want to press charges. 

A woman allegedly found a gun after seeing kids go into a garage and wanted officers to check if it was real. The gun was collected for safekeeping and video of the kids was emailed to officers.  

A scammer reportedly contacted a woman via telephone and internet about a fraudulent tax refund program for property owners. The woman said the allege scammer spoofed a friend’s phone number and told her she needed to send $1,000 via gift cards or Venmo, an app used to send and receive money. 

A carwash customer allegedly found a small bag of counterfeit money. Officers collected the fake bills.  

Someone thought a man was living in a beat-up camper that was parked by a red pickup in front of a vacant house for four days and called police. 

Someone became increasingly suspicious of a green Toyota truck with a green camper that was reportedly circling a school when the driver covered their face while they took a picture of them. 

A man sent to the hospital with a dog bite was trying to determine if he needed to get rabies shots. 

Officers received a call about criminal mischief at construction sites by Stillwater Road.  

Extra patrols were requested at a location in the Rail Park Drive area after vehicles, trailers and fire extinguishers were found damaged and someone said it was becoming a nightly occurrence. 

A man allegedly went door-to-door selling discounted pest treatments for homes. One resident thought the situation was a little buggy when he reportedly looked up the address provided by the salesmen and a community college came up in the results.
