Law Roundup: Police get their ducks in a row

Kalispell Police Department officers responded to a report of ducklings that had fallen into a drain and reported back that all six were rescued and reunited with their mother.  

A feud about cleanliness between townhome neighbors reportedly reached police when a man complained about a woman who kept knocking and banging on his door, saying he didn’t know why she was doing it, but had done it in the past.   

The woman allegedly told an officer she was upset that he didn’t “clean up after himself” and knocked on his door. The knocking turned into banging when he didn’t respond despite being at home. An officer told her to stop banging on his door as it could be perceived as harassment and advised the landlord of the situation.  

Someone with “corporate in Wisconsin,” who was reportedly watching a live camera feed, wanted officers to check on a shirtless man slumped over in the driver's seat of a parked vehicle and what looked like a passenger massaging him, and let them know they couldn’t park there overnight.  

A store customer allegedly went outside, laid on some rocks and rolled around. An employee asked an officer to check on his welfare. He told the officer he was OK.  

A man allegedly called a store claiming to be from some outfit called Storage Solutions, telling an employee that a technician would be arriving tomorrow to troubleshoot their point-of-sale system. The employee asked him a few questions and was told by the store’s operations staff to report the possible scam to police. Officers called the phone number and got a phone tree.  

A man claimed that he left his vehicle at a location for more than a month, during which a wallet belonging to someone else went missing and he wanted a casino to review a month of surveillance footage. They handed him itemized times and rates to do so.  

A dispatcher answered a 911 call and heard what sounded like heavy, panicked breathing before the line disconnected, and they were unable to call back. Officers drove and walked through area but were unable to locate anyone in distress.  

A woman reportedly wanted officers to document another incident of a neighbor playing loud music before 8 a.m. Although one of their addresses was under county jurisdiction, which doesn’t have a noise ordinance, she said she needed to speak to a “city officer.”  

A woman allegedly confronted a security guard, accusing them of stealing her vehicle title and registration out of her purse while she was in the hospital.
