Law roundup: Dylan the great Dane goes exploring

Dylan, the friendly great Dane, allegedly escaped from a man's room and went on a run. The Kalispell Police Department advised him about an earlier report of a collarless black dog on the loose. Dylan’s owner said he would head in that direction.  

A man called the police from outside a post office, saying he yelled at a driver reportedly going the wrong way on a one-way street and the driver yelled back to mind his own business and drove away. Appalled at the driver's blatant disregard of the rules of the road, he took a photo of their license plate, which he then couldn’t find.  

Officers responded to an online complaint about someone’s neighbors who had set up large concert-type speakers in their yard. Officers spoke with people who claimed they were “operating a business” and doing soundchecks. One man in the group was a bit confrontational with the officer when he reportedly said he was “within his rights to do so.” The officer explained that they couldn’t operate a business in an area that isn’t zoned for it.  

A passerby saw a man reportedly hitting a woman, giving her a bloody nose, when another man stepped in and started shoving him, trying to get him off her.   

An enraged man allegedly got into his loud white pickup with a passenger in tow and drove over to an ex’s apartment, where he started banging on the doors and windows, yelling at her to “open up” and threatening to beat her up and the man she was seeing. He reportedly told an officer that he would not return to her residence to cause problems.  

A woman called the police to report her boyfriend’s truck had been stolen from storage because he was in jail.  

A woman reportedly refused to give a vehicle awarded to her ex-husband in their divorce contract, noting that there was also a no-contact order in place. The county attorney told police he would need to have his attorney file a contempt of court for the civil contract violation. Police relayed the information to him, saying they would not charge her with vehicle theft at this time. 

A woman home alone reportedly saw a suspicious man with a bicycle knocking on her back door and talking to himself, all through the safety of a security camera, and called the police. He was gone by the time officers arrived. 

Someone was allegedly scammed out of $1,400 via email. 

Someone retrieved a flag that had blown out of its stand and wanted to drop it off at the Police Department.
