A white Toyota allegedly pulled off the highway south of Hutton Ranch Road and two men got out. A passerby told the Kalispell Police Department that the passenger, who was in his 20s, reportedly punched the driver, who appeared to be in his 50s, knocking his glasses off, then got back in the car.

A man called the police, claiming a neighbor took his dog in when it ran away and was planning to leave the state. Turns out, the dog was at the Flathead County Animal Shelter.

A sleeping man’s pants were allegedly down, leaving his butt exposed. A responding officer woke him up, told him about his wardrobe malfunction, and asked him to pack up and move along. He did, but as he walked away, his pants started slipping, exposing the top of his butt again. The officer told him he should get better-fitting pants to avoid another indecent exposure incident.

A woman’s grandson allegedly locked her out of her house after changing the locks. The two started fighting and she went to her bedroom to separate from him.

Someone called the police after another driver reportedly involved in a parking lot accident brushed them off because they “didn’t want to talk about it” and instead walked into a store.

A woman’s vehicle was egged.

An ambulance was called to a school where a student was having an allergic reaction to peanuts and was vomiting after epinephrine was administered.

A red sedan with missing hubcaps and no license plates had reportedly been parked on the street in front of a woman’s house for two weeks without moving. An officer called the registered owner, who said the vehicle had been sold at an auction. The officer advised her to call the DMV to remove her name from the title.
