Law roundup: Security senses weapons by man’s vibes
A man and woman who had been reportedly kicked off a property for “bad behavior” were spotted back at the location by a security employee. The employee, who escorted them off the property, called Kalispell Police, asking an officer to formally advise them that they would be cited for trespassing if they returned. When asked if the pair were carrying weapons, the employee guessed that the man was carrying something “based on his walk and vibes.”
A resident complained about a tan GMC Denali they described as being parked “funky” in front of a school and their house, saying it had been there for at least a week. Officers stuck a notice to move the vehicle.
A dog owner was allegedly hanging out with their 12-year-old Staffordshire terrier off-leash in a field by the community college when a leaner, light-colored, great Pyrenees ran up to it and a fight ensued. The terrier reportedly received emergency medical care for puncture wounds above one eye. The owner told police he did not see or hear anyone calling for the Pyrenees, which looked uninjured when it left in the direction it came from, but wanted animal control to know there might be a “problem dog” in the area.
Someone reportedly asked officers to check on the welfare of a drunk man wearing all-black sweats and a hat who had fallen a few times between their house and a neighbor’s and laid down in the road behind a small pickup. The man was safely dropped off at his residence.
