Young girls at Whitefish City Beach told police they were approached by an older fellow who insisted he could teach them how to do backflips. After being asked to leave, the man moved on to practice elsewhere. No crime was committed, but it seemed suspicious enough to call police.

A man experiencing heart palpitations and vertigo contacted Whitefish Police out of concern for his health. He said he had been drinking and traveling frequently and “just didn’t feel right.”

A housing dispute in Whitefish got messy when a woman removed carpeting she described as “gross” from a unit she was subleasing. She claimed to have spent months improving the apartment due to mold and floor rot. The leaseholder alleged the woman had not paid rent and was not listed on the lease. Officers advised both parties that the matter was civil.

A caller requested advice on retrieving belongings from a residence she previously shared with her ex-partner. She hoped to collect the items while he was away.

Following a minor collision in a parking lot, a woman expressed frustration to Whitefish officers, reportedly stating she “hates foreigners.”

Police responded to a report of a man walking kind of funny and disrupting traffic. Officers determined the man was not in distress and required a cane for mobility.

A person attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting inadvertently dialed 911. Dispatchers noted the repeat butt dialer had accidentally called emergency services twice before.

Pedestrians were not pleased when a hot shot on a lime green dirt bike passed vehicles on a walking path in Whitefish.

People traveling in Sprinter vans overstayed their welcome and were asked to leave after parking overnight at a local gym.

Officers responded to a report of a toddler left alone in a running vehicle parked downtown. The child was fine.

An overly eager concrete company was warned for disturbing the peace after beginning work at a job site at 5 a.m.
