Law roundup: Curmudgeon complains about noisy children

A curmudgeon called the Kalispell Police Department, reportedly upset that boisterous children playing on a trampoline across the street didn’t listen when he told them to stop yelling. Officers spoke with the children’s grandparents, who said they would have the kids “quiet down a bit.” Officers were unable to make contact with the caller.

Someone’s drunk brother allegedly came out of his room, woke up their mother, harassed her for a cigarette, and then, “out of nowhere,” hit his sibling in the back, attempting to instigate a fight and threw things around the apartment. 

Officers received a new complaint about a neighbor’s music from a caller who allegedly woke up one morning to the noise, which was being blasted at 81 decibels.

A black and silver pickup was doing doughnuts in the middle of an intersection.

A trio of blonde teens were reportedly riding yellow dirt bikes up and down the streets.

An unleashed dog allegedly ran up to a woman in a park and barked at her. She later reportedly saw three loose dogs and when she asked the two owners to put them on a leash, they claimed the dogs were on electronic leashes. She called the police, asking officers to do extra patrols in the park and inform people about the leash law. She reportedly added that she would speak about the issue at a city council meeting to request that more park signs about unleashed dogs be installed.

Two chihuahuas were spotted running in the road by someone who reportedly told police it was an ongoing issue, saying the owners were aware the dogs were loose, saying they just let them out the front door and leave. The person also voiced concerns that there might be a “drug issue” at the location.

Someone reportedly got upset with a dispatcher who asked for more details from a caller complaining about a woman causing issues in front of a casino, other than that she was “just being weird.” Nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary to responding officers.

Someone called the police with a noise complaint after reportedly hearing a woman and a man yelling at each other, a baby crying and things bouncing off the walls. 

Officers reportedly received a later call about a man screaming at a woman, angry over lease disagreements and refused to leave when someone tried to separate the couple.
