A delivery driver reportedly pulled up to a man’s driveway, blocking in his car, and called the Kalispell Police Department, saying the man, who allegedly had an open beer, had been drinking and driving and went into his house, leaving the car door open. The delivery driver suspected that as soon as they left, he would get back into his car.

Later, officers responded to a call from a man, who sounded drunk and was slurring his words as he complained that his brother had taken away his keys and he wanted them back. When officers arrived, he was reportedly talking to his mom about getting a ride. Officers told him that before driving, he needed to empty an open can of hard iced tea sitting in the center console.

A parent allegedly had video of youths going through their neighborhood, egging cars, including her son’s. Rather than pursuing charges, she asked officers to talk to the youths about their “stupid behavior.” An officer told her that school officials had already spoken to the individuals about the incident.

A rear wheel fell off a vehicle.

A trespasser reportedly couldn’t stay away from a hotel and was spotted on the property dressed in all black.
