Employees of a fitness center escorted a woman out of the gym after she once again became disruptive. They asked the Kalispell Police Department to track her down and make sure the message was received and understood. Officers added the gym to the department's hot sheet.  

A man hanging out in the lobby of another business irked the employees, who told officers that he kept trying to get into different rooms. Asked to leave, the man replied that he was waiting on a ride. He skedaddled before the police showed up, however. 

Officers cited the driver of a white GMC for speeding.  

Concerned that someone had attached a tracking device to their white Toyota FJ Cruiser, a motorist headed to the Police Department to get help searching their vehicle. 

A man camped out in the lobby of a building got the hint and hit the road after an employee phoned the authorities. 

With customers feeling unsafe because of a tattooed man hanging out in the parking lot, a store manager asked him to leave. When he refused, the manager alerted the police. Although the man left soon after, the manager still requested that officers respond to the business. They were unable to locate the inked up man. 

An uncooperative man who refused to leave the property of a medical center ended up getting a ride to the Flathead County Detention Center.  

Dealing with a man who kept wandering around the business saying strange things to other customers and asking them for alcohol, employees requested that officers ban him from the premises. The man was last seen walking south along the highway. 

Concerned that someone smoking marijuana in a home might harm her children, a mother raised a stink with the Police Department. She suspected the homeowners weren't home and said that it was likely their son who was smoking weed and smelling up the neighborhood. Officers drove by and the home appeared fine. A vehicle was parked in the driveway, they reported.
