A woman wearing a blue jean jacket was allegedly kicking a car and ripping off the windshield wipers when another woman pulled up, pounded the car and yelled at her. A man tried to intervene, thinking things were going to get physical.  

But when he attempted to separate them, they joined forces and turned their anger on him, starting to scream and yell at him. He left and called the Kalispell Police Department in case the pair called to report the incident. Everything was quiet and the vehicles weren’t there when officers arrived at the scene.  

Officers responded to a report of a disturbance involving a weapon at a medical facility and detained a belligerent man allegedly involved in a stabbing. Officers reportedly restrained him, but he remained combative.  

A Ford Escape heading southbound just south of Three Mile Drive allegedly struck and damaged a guardrail, crossed all lanes and ended up across an onramp on the northbound side of the U.S. 93 Bypass. Several vehicles stopped to help. A witness said the airbags were deployed and there were two teens, about 17 to 19 years old, involved. The hospital was advised of one patient in serious condition.  

Two shirtless men in an “out-of-control" gray Chevy SUV heading south on U.S. 93 almost hit another vehicle.  

A 7-year-old allegedly lost control of a dirt bike and struck a parked car. The child and the vehicle came out of the collision with minor scratches. The owner complained that the child was too young to be handling a dirt bike.
