Law roundup: Baller draws a foul while traveling

After a passenger in a passing vehicle chucked a basketball at his parked vehicle, a motorist retrieved it in the hopes that investigators with the Kalispell Police Department could dust it for fingerprints. He told the authorities that the chucker took his shot from a moving white Chevrolet truck. The ball struck the rear driver's side window but caused no damage. He asked that officers meet him near the skating rink and pick up the evidence.  

Reporting a suspected dog attack, a resident told officers that he saw a canine charge at a neighbor and her pooch. Soon after he saw the neighbor go back inside her home with her dog. Unsure of whether the attack actually happened or if either dog was injured, the caller also lacked any contact information for the neighbor. The report was passed off to animal control.  

Somewhere in the bustle of making a move, which required taking a lot of items to a thrift store, a woman realized her Winchester .38 special had gone missing. She told officers she usually kept the gun, which boasted a wooden handle and a red holster, under the driver's seat of her vehicle and suspected thieves had made off with it.  

Officers dealt with a drunk pedestrian who was crying.  

Authorities received a report of a disabled vehicle on the U.S. 93 Bypass. It was on the shoulder of the southbound side and apparently someone was en route to lend a hand.  

A caller accused a state Motor Vehicle Division employee of parking in a nonexistent spot and then cursing at him. He also expressed frustration with the agency's security personnel and their response to the confrontation.  

Tired of her son and "his issues," a mother asked that officers remove him from her apartment. Things came to a head when she came home earlier, and the 18-year-old was angry and hitting a desk. Although he was paying rent, she wanted him out by the end of the month and warned that she would be calling the authorities again if he did not leave. Officers gave him a ride elsewhere.  

Officers tried to get in touch with a woman who had questions about her downstairs neighbors "cursing and being loud in the mornings."
