An upset woman at a drive-thru window was caught on surveillance footage yelling at employees and punching the window, according to someone who called the Kalispell Police Department.

A group of “driving-age kids” allegedly were messing around in a parking lot and six or seven vehicles were spinning and burning their tires while pulling out on East Montana Street.

A green Ford Explorer hit a tree and a sign and drove away headed westbound on Teal Drive.

Someone purportedly wanted the “nonsense going on downtown” recorded, including all the burnouts, horns honking and people yelling. The person said they were tired of the “noise and revelry,” from cruising vehicles.

A drunk driver pulled into a parking lot and a man stumbled across the street trying to get gas.

Someone ran up to a person’s vehicle trying to start a fight and pulled on the window, punching and breaking it before leaving in a white Dodge pickup occupied by four 18- to 20-year-olds.

Officers received a complaint about large groups of kids hanging out in a parking lot. The person calling in the complaint said the parking lot was completely trashed and someone took it upon themselves to bring and leave behind a large recliner. Officers spoke to four teens who claimed not to know who brought the recliner, and authorities observed empty soda cans, bottles and other trash all over the lot.

Via a security camera, a homeowner saw someone cutting limbs off trees in her backyard and dumping the branches in the front yard. She said no one was supposed to be there and wanted officers to check the residence.

Two men sitting in the grass were flipping off and approaching vehicles and cursing at people, which someone said was scaring people.

A man allegedly was “manhandling” a woman with kids who kept yelling at him to get out of her vehicle in a parking lot.

A resident wanted a law enforcement presence in her area to get vehicles speeding down West Center Street from Fifth Avenue West to slow down because she was concerned someone would hit her property situated on the corner.

Someone thought it was suspicious when a man walked past a business holding a large dowel and was hanging around vehicles despite telling someone he was waiting for a ride.

A man lying on the ground in a residential area was slurring his words when he told dispatchers he had been hit in the head by people and didn’t know where he was. He was taken to the hospital.

A man allegedly saw a mountain lion heading south on Third Avenue West North.

A woman appeared to be going through mailboxes and acting strangely. She claimed her mail often gets misplaced in other boxes and was checking to see if this was the case.

Two men were seen beating up a man. The victim walked away on Hawthorn Avenue after the fight broke up.

An unsupervised 4- or 5-year-old with a tablet, who was reportedly sitting in a running vehicle with its windows slightly cracked, waved at someone who called police. The vehicle was gone by the time officers arrived.
