Law roundup: Staff have no problem finding needle in a haystack

Needles were allegedly dropping out of a woman’s tie-dyed skirt as she walked out of a business. An employee who saw needles in the bathroom stall she was using and noticed a “weird, sweet smell” wafting from her had asked her to depart. The employee requested the Kalispell Police Department inform her she was not welcome back. 

A boy allegedly fumbled about stealing alcohol from a store, dropping a container while stuffing the merchandise in his hoodie. One of the two girls accompanying him swooped in for the recovery and placed the alcohol in her hoodie. The trio left in a red Nissan Pathfinder with a dirty back window. A drawing of male genitals and the words, “Do you wanna race” were reportedly etched in the grime. 

A woman in her 50s with blonde braided pigtails was reportedly screaming something about being sober and throwing a dog around, hurting it. She was thrown in jail for her disorderly conduct and obstructing the police. 

A man who was allegedly assaulted during a confrontation with another patient, who he pushed, wanted to report the incident as he was having issues with his teeth. He told an officer that he wanted to try to handle the problem in-house with staff before involving the police. 

Dispatch answered a call and only heard a busy signal before being disconnected. On the callback, someone cryptically said, “I just wanted to let you know those guys let him take my car,” and hung up. An officer’s multiple calls went straight to voicemail. 

A man reportedly found a stray brown dog and a white dog with brown spots and brought the friendly collarless canines to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office parking lot, saying he could take them to the shelter. The dogs were booked into doggy jail. 

Officers stopped a pedestrian in an alley who allegedly said he found a U.S. Forest Service credit card and was going to drop it off at the agency's main office.
