A man on Old Creek Road in Marion may have been channeling Yosemite Sam when a neighbor told Flathead County Sheriff’s Office he was outside yelling “Whooraww” excitedly and shooting his gun. Officers were in the area for some time, but reported “all was quiet.”

The owner of a vehicle shop in Kalispell reported four cars had been broken into by a man who attempted to drive off with one. The man was caught on camera. A backpack containing possibly stolen meat was retrieved from one of the vehicles.

A clerk on U.S. 35 in Bigfork told officers that a customer told her a dead horse was lying in a field and that other horses were gathering around it.

Someone in Bigfork was concerned after seeing a rifle and pistol sitting on the front seat of a truck. There was also a beeping sound that was later deemed to be a dead battery in a radio. Officers advised the truck owner to hide the guns to avoid a “smash and grab.”

A Hungry Horse resident on Mountain Drive was unhappy when her apparently troublesome neighbors allegedly threw bottles at her house, leaving glass shards on her porch.

Two skinny, dirty men reportedly trespassed on a Kalispell resident’s Mission Trail property.

The potential premise of a Lifetime movie ensued when a woman who was camping with her husband and other people at Ashley Lake said another woman allegedly “went crazy” and “held them hostage” at the campground and made threats to file complaints with Child and Family Services and other state agencies.

A man on Bowser Lake Road was creeped out when he happened upon a pile of garbage on the side of the road containing towels, sex toys, rubber gloves, pornographic playing cards, condoms and ping-pong balls. The man said he felt it was “odd and creepy.” The call was turned over to the Forest Service and the items removed.

Horses were on the loose in a parking lot on U.S. 2 East in Kalispell.


Kalispell Police Department responded to a report of a woman maced in the face by a man who was later picked up by a truck on North Main Street.

A man who was told not to return to a shoe store awhile ago after stealing black high heels and fleeing in them, was spotted by a shoe-store employee at the perfume counter in a different store. Officers were cautioned of the man’s history of assault, drug and weapon charges and for dressing as a female and carrying large shards of glass. The man was told not to return to the mall.

A Fourth Avenue East resident was quite unhappy when her neighbor allegedly started yelling and cussing at her young daughter who was playing with a rabbit outside.

A woman wearing a hospital gown walked into a building on U.S. 93 South asking for help but declined assistance from law enforcement. She had reportedly been seen wandering in the road.

A passerby saw a man holding an infant hit a woman on the corner of Liberty Street and North Meridian Road.

A woman accidentally dialed 911 from her phone, which was contained in her bra.

A mother said her son reportedly hit her with the cast on his arm, shoved her and threw her onto a bed resulting in a laceration and other injuries.

A bunch of underage girls were reportedly drinking on 11th Street East and so was the homeowner/dad.

A man who was described as “shaking really bad” and who “appeared strung out” brought two pistols to someone’s house on Ninth Avenue West and eventually left, then the resident heard a gunshot across the street.

Police continue to get sightings of an elderly woman pushing a dog in a shopping cart around town. This time the woman went into a North Meridian Road store asking for information and left after she was given a phonebook by an employee. The employee described the woman as “disoriented and dirty.”


A woman who had parked on Dakota Avenue was upset to find a passive-aggressive note on her car that read something to the effect of, “You shouldn’t have parked on the street. That was a nasty move.” She reported it to Whitefish Police Department when she discovered damage to the driver’s side door in the form of a white paint transfer.

A woman on Flathead Avenue reported fraudulent activity by an ex-boyfriend who reportedly started a cable account without her knowledge.

A distraught woman was concerned about a male allegedly throwing fireworks at cars. He had earlier shown her a gun that he reportedly threatened to kill her with.


A Nucleus Avenue business reported to Columbia Falls Police Department that a man wearing bike-riding clothes and helmet was loitering. The person making the report said the man would come into the business, sit on the furniture and talk to himself yet wouldn’t talk to management when they approached him.


Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received a report that a man threatened another man with a hatchet on Mineral Avenue in Libby.

A man in a truck was seen driving aggressively by turning his flashers on, passing people on double lines and honking his horn on U.S. 2.

A “very aggressive dog” in a Libby woman’s yard on Idaho was preventing her and her children from getting into their house.
