Law roundup: Water gun drive-by not a hit with others

People in two vehicles were reportedly spraying each other with water guns and another driver called 911, saying the drivers didn’t use their blinkers when changing lanes on the bypass and one of the vehicles almost went off the road.

A man not in uniform allegedly flashed a police badge at another driver, telling him to “slow the (expletive) down.” Suspicious that he might not be an officer, he called the Kalispell Police  Department to report the incident, saying if he was an officer, someone needed to talk to him about how he interacts with the public when not in uniform. 

The man was an officer and claimed the other driver was going 40 mph in a 20 mph zone, while the other driver said he was already going 20 mph. Another officer contacted the man, but at that point, he reportedly did not care what happened to the officer and the complaint was handled internally.

Someone’s drunk half-brother reportedly jabbed a screwdriver in his mother’s door and pounded on it, trying to break it down.

Two children, who appeared to be around the ages of a toddler and an infant, were reportedly left alone in a vehicle. While on the phone, someone got into the vehicle and left.
