An evicted tenant was reportedly permitted to retrieve her belongings, but she was making little progress and refusing to leave when asked. Someone called the Kalispell Police Department for assistance. Based on the date the eviction notice was issued, the woman had until Friday to remove her belongings and the landlord gave her specific times to pack up.  

A man in his 30s reportedly refused to leave a hospital lobby. He was banned from all hospital properties except for emergencies.  

Someone who allegedly heard a female yelling, “help,” “stop” and “no,” told the police that the panicked voice was coming from storage units behind a building. They also reportedly heard a male yelling too, but not as loudly as the female. An officer spoke to people on a trail who said they didn’t hear anything and were yelling at a dog earlier, but that was it.  

Someone was suspicious that a man wearing a backpack and holding shoes in his hand was under the influence of drugs when he was reportedly seen walking quickly and mumbling to himself. 

A dog reportedly barked outside for two hours before someone called to report it, alleging that it was an ongoing issue they’ve called police about before. A responding officer heard the dog barking excessively and spoke with the owner on the phone, advising him about city ordinances.  

A man called the police thinking his wallet had been stolen out of his vehicle. He later located it.
