Law roundup: Drivers speed through neighborhood detour

A resident called the Kalispell Police Department, upset about angry drivers reportedly speeding through a detour, and wanted officers to conduct extra patrols along College Avenue while construction continues on Woodland Avenue.

A food truck owner asked officers to move along transients who were reportedly moving tables and lying on them. She said no one had asked them to leave as they had been “verbally violent” in the past.

A woman allegedly screamed a man’s name from across a parking lot, then went up to him and shoved him. A passerby told police they recorded the shoving match and that the two went their separate ways.

A friendly brown-and-white pony ran into someone’s yard, who called the police, concerned it would get hit while horsing around. The horse was rounded up.

An employee asked officers to move along a man allegedly lying near a playground swing set. They said he was slurring his words when they asked him to leave and had urinated on himself. 

A woman called the police, ticked that law enforcement dropped her off at a location and wouldn’t take her home. When the dispatcher explained to the worked-up woman that the police weren’t a taxicab service, she hung up.

A manager alleged that the occupants of a vehicle in the parking lot were involved in drug activities. She told an officer that the women had since left because their car needed a jump and didn’t want to have it towed either, because that costs money.

Someone reportedly lost $2,000 in an online scam.

A woman claimed that people smoking in a patio area were committing arson.
