Several calls to the Kalispell Police Department reported a man dressed in a pin-stripe suit and a black-and-white hat was going through Dumpsters in an alley near Fifth Street West. The man appeared to be in his 20s, pushing a shopping cart that he continually loaded with items he found in the Dumpster. Responding officers found no crime had been committed, although it seems ZZ Top was wrong when they sang that “every girl is crazy for a sharp-dressed man.”

Thanks to some Facebook sleuthing, a man discovered a youth he knew was using marijuana in a local park. Officers were unable to locate the alleged drug user. 

There was reportedly no clerk in a store on East Idaho Street. The person calling in the suspicious activity said there were several people in the store, but they were all shoppers. The caller checked throughout the store and outside, but could not find an employee, and worried shoppers would start abusing the lack of authority. Responding officers found the employee on duty had “quit and walked off,” and stayed on scene until other employees arrived.

Calls to the Whitefish Police Department reported a teenager climbed to the second-floor balcony of a for-sale apartment on Dugans Way. The teen had gotten into the vacant residence and let other males through the front door. The property owner was notified and decided not to press charges.

A man narrowly avoided hitting bikers on the bike path on Wisconsin Avenue, and then proceeded to yell at the bikers, reportedly saying, “The next time I see you, I will run you over and hope you are dead.” The man reportedly had a heavy German accent. Police were unable to locate the vehicle.
