Law roundup: Driver still can’t find parked car weeks later

A woman called the Kalispell Police Department for help finding her missing vehicle. She reportedly had the car keys but no recollection of where she had parked it.

The vehicle allegedly went missing one night about two weeks ago when an evening of drinking at home was upended by an argument with her dad. She said she left in the vehicle, pulled over somewhere, parked and walked home. She said she already called tow companies with no luck and wanted to know if the police could call her if they found it. She was advised to have her father, who was still listed as the registered owner, call back if he wanted to report it as stolen.

An officer stopped a vehicle reportedly “power sliding” off West Center Street into First Avenue West and the driver did not have insurance.

Officers stopped a vehicle and issued a warning for excessive noise/racing engine. The driver claimed he was having issues with the transmission and that it only shifted in third and fourth gear, which led to a conversation about driving an unsafe vehicle with the officer advising him not to drive it until it was fixed. 

A woman in a truck headed southbound on Main Street was allegedly drinking beer.

Later, officers responded to a report that a blonde woman driving a white truck was reportedly swerving as she barreled through a parking lot, almost hitting someone and their daughter, who yelled at her and two other passengers, who all appeared to be in their 20s.

Officers rolled up to the scene of a parking lot brawl where a man was reportedly punched in the face, knocking him to the ground. Neither party wanted to press charges. Officers told them to leave each other alone and solve their problems peacefully, which didn’t include posting threats on social media.

A man, who sounded inebriated, allegedly called the police to report someone stole his car keys and pushed him to the ground and kept repeating that they assaulted him. He also couldn’t confirm his phone number with the dispatcher, saying it was new. Officers determined no crime was committed and his fiancée was going to pick him up.

A man allegedly pumped up the volume enough for a neighbor to call the police with a noise complaint, saying they had been working with police and other neighbors on a “harassment case.”

A welfare check was requested on a man with a mohawk and torn pants who seemed confused and was wandering through neighbors’ yards and started running down an alley. Officers detained the man who was reportedly involved in a theft and rode with him in an ambulance to the hospital.

Dispatchers answered a call that was abandoned. On the callback, a man answered and allegedly said he called to report gray trucks speeding toward Main Street when he “remembered” that “cops do nothing about it” and hung up.

Officers warned a man about driving a vehicle with no license plates, which he claimed were stolen. He also said he recently spoke to a judge about insuring his vehicle.

Five teens in a black car allegedly chucked something at a stranger’s vehicle.

A woman with red hair allegedly kept sneaking into a building and someone wanted her kicked off the property. 

Someone reportedly stole a bicycle locked up to a bike rack in front of a West Idaho Street grocery store.
