A teenager was on a path of destruction in a store's infant department, where he was reportedly ramming a motorized cart into things. Rather than facing store security, the suspect fled.

A Kalispell Police Department officer reportedly got the ball rolling on an eastside neighborhood's complaints about a resident whose more than 12-hour daily marathons, blasting a radio station over speakers pointed toward his neighbors, some of whom had temporary restraining orders granted, escalated to the point of being considered a public nuisance.   

Public nuisance No. 1 may be in for a ticket when an officer sent a department-wide email alerting officers who received more complaints to contact the county attorney for approval to issue a citation to the music man.  

A man walked out onto his porch and allegedly engaged in a 30-minute staring match with a man playing with his dog in his backyard. The stare down ended when the man moseyed back inside his house. The dog owner thought it was an intimidation tactic and suspected the stare master of driving past his house with the headlights off.  

A woman with a handful of $100 bills raised a food vendor's suspicions that the bills were counterfeit, reportedly telling police the bill she paid with didn't feel right and didn't have a security stripe, so they tugged on both ends to test it, ultimately tearing the bill in half. The food vendor might want to consider less destructive methods to authenticate bills because other vendors told officers that the purported funny money was legit — just old.  

A strange man in a black sedan allegedly followed a woman home, went into her house and attempted to sexually assault her. The man was described as around 5-foot-9-inches, clean-shaven, a bit overweight, with short brown hair and wearing a dark blue shirt, black shorts and white shoes.  

Someone reportedly watched women walk to a white camper in a "drug-induced stagger" and voiced concerns they were dealing drugs.  

A trio of males out gallivanting around town were hooting and hollering as one of them allegedly broke a street sign, launching it into a parking lot. He was ticketed and released.  

Someone was startled to see a motorcyclist with his head slumped over the handlebars while going 40 mph.
