Law roundup: Neighbor ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog

A neighbor called the Kalispell Police Department to bark about a neighbor’s two boisterous basset hounds. The caller claimed the bassets had been barking “on and off for three years,” and they were ready to file a noise complaint.   

Meanwhile, in another part of town, a man with a black goatee was reportedly mouthing off and cussing in front of a casino and gas station that rewarded his belligerence with a lifetime ban.  

A giggly man allegedly dialed 911 but said there was no emergency; that he took Narcan, an opioid reversal drug, and was driving himself to the hospital, saying he was OK and hung up. On the callback, he said he was playing a game on his phone and was in Great Falls.  

An officer leaving the police department spotted a 9mm bullet and reported the casing was empty before placing it into an evidence box. The officer didn’t see any bullet holes in the building, and there hadn’t been any reports of gunshots in the area.  

A paralegal reportedly working for a medical center’s risk management staff allegedly told police they wanted to contact their boss about a potential embezzlement case but didn’t have any details.    

A tall, slim man in his 40s or 50s allegedly walked toward someone, flipped them off and yelled profanities as they continued to walk home. Officers reportedly linked him to another incident where he spat on someone.  

A curly-haired woman with a small brown dog reportedly tried opening the door to a stranger’s house. When the resident confronted her, she allegedly apologized, saying she thought it was her house. The resident filed an online report, concerned she was casing the home.  

Officers received an online report that someone allegedly kicked out two panels of vinyl fencing that were cracked.  

Someone wanted to talk to an officer about receiving scam texts alleging a recipient has unpaid tolls.
