The Kalispell Police Department received a report of a stolen motorcycle from near Treeline Road. An officer responded, but the owner called back and said he had just forgoten where he parked it.

Something unexpected showed up at the door of an Eighth Avenue West North resident. A moving company trailer had been left there and was so close that the hitch was nearly touching the door. The resident called police to help remove it.

Suspicious people were sitting in a sports car on East Idaho Street. That’s according to a caller, who wouldn’t say what was suspicious about the people, just that they were suspicious.

There were reports of a man yelling at a light pole near Third Avenue East North.


Snow piles melted in a parking lot off of Somers Avenue and revealed heaps of cotton, according to one report. The Whitefish Police Department checked it out and determined that the discarded cotton was left behind by a television crew but had been posing as a regular snow pile for a few weeks.

A man was spotted sleeping behind a Central Avenue business, and an officer took him to the hospital.


The Columbia Falls Police Department received a call from a reportedly intoxicated man who said that someone pointed a rifle at him. The man told dispatch that he was walking his dog and got into an argument with a property owner, who responded by pointing the rifle. The caller asked dispatch if he could go “beat the guy’s a--.” Dispatch replied that he could not.


A Martin City resident found a wheelchair in a dumpster and took it home for some kids to play with. The chair belonged to a Kalispell business and bore its logo. With the help of the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office, the business took the chair back for disassembly to avoid a lawsuit.

A Shadow Lane resident thought that a man who said he was a cable technician was a bit dubious. The resident reported that the man asked to look at her cable box. The cable company later verified that he really was “the cable guy.”

In Martin City, a report was made of a man throwing rocks at a skateboarder on First Street West. The witness described the rocks as “medium sized gravel.”
