Law roundup: Entire headlight mysteriously goes missing
A man wanted to talk to Kalispell Police about the alleged theft of one headlight on his elderly parents’ vehicle. He wondered if it could be part of a prank and if the police were aware of any other similar incidents happening in the area. His parents reportedly noticed the missing headlight after returning home from the eye clinic, which officers contacted, asking employees to review security footage for suspicious activity.
A woman reportedly wanted officers to tap her landline to trace an unknown phone number that was calling her nonstop. She said she didn’t want to dial a special code to call back the unknown phone number because that would cost money. An officer tried to contact the phone company on her behalf, but was unsuccessful. The officer told her that police do not wiretap phones for something that isn’t a crime.
Someone allegedly found a dead dog in a garbage bag in the trunk of their brother’s car and wanted an officer to search the vehicle, saying they thought they knew who put it there. The sibling and the officer reportedly came up with a resolution to the situation.
A dispatcher answered a 911 call and reportedly heard what sounded like children playing, a lot of screaming and someone saying, “Right now,” on an open line. The dispatcher was unable to discern if the screaming came from a distraught individual or someone yelling at children to behave.
An intoxicated man allegedly drove himself to a location for services and someone called the police, concerned he would drive again, as he kept stating he was going to leave. The responding officer told him if he got into his vehicle, he would be subject to a DUI investigation.
A man allegedly found a needle at the bus stop and called the police to advise them that he would throw it away but had to walk to his parents’ residence, carrying it, in case anyone reported him as being suspicious.
A business's phone called 911 and hung up a few times.
A caller wanted to know why his vehicle was towed.
