A woman told the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office she got out of her car and the people riding with her abruptly stole her car. She found the car behind a hotel, but couldn’t find the keys, and she told law enforcement her debit card was also missing.

Someone was concerned about a man who “kind of turns blue” because she thought he might have overdosed on heroin. He apparently “got up and took off” while she was attending to him.

A man who told a dispatcher he was “half asleep” was concerned because he saw headlights turning on and off for multiple days.

A man said he found a cat that was sick and needed veterinary care, but he couldn’t afford to pay for it. He added he couldn’t find a vet’s office that would take it without payment. He was advised to take the cat to the Flathead County Animal Shelter.

A father apparently confronted a sixth-grade boy and threatened to hurt him because of issues the boy was having with the man’s daughter. The man apologized for his behavior.

A homeowner said his window was damaged and he suspected someone had tried to break in, but nothing was missing.

Another person said there was no damage to their garage, but a chain saw was stolen.

Someone called authorities because she saw a man with a rifle approach a man with a motorcycle. She said when she saw the firearm she just thought she should call it in. It turned out the men were brothers having a family dispute and they said they would try to work it out among themselves.

A woman suspected her ex-husband of running a meth lab under his porch after she saw him stand on the porch with a firearm for four hours. Officers looked at her video footage and decided her concerns were “unfounded at this point.”

A woman suspected her granddaughter had stolen her credit cards and charged $50 for gas. The grandmother didn’t want to press charges against her granddaughter and canceled the credit cards.

A man was seen choking and punching a woman in a car with a peace sign on the back window.

Another driver was seen getting into a vehicle with a beer in hand, but the person observing him said he wasn’t stumbling and showed “no signs of intoxication.”

Someone said he was charged by a dog with “tiny ears.”

A caller complained about someone else storing a vehicle in a storage unit.
