A pedestrian approaching a crosswalk reportedly flung their drink at a woman's vehicle as she breezed through it. The woman called the Kalispell Police Department, complaining that the catapulted drink left scratches on her car. Officers were unable to locate the pedestrian.  

A resident called the police wanting to know what was going on after reportedly seeing officers through his Ring doorbell security camera.  He was advised that the incident didn't concern him.  

A feral cat on the prowl was allegedly outside, attacking a woman's apartment window, trying to claw its way to her pet cat. The feisty feline bit her when she tried to move it along. She declined medical attention as her skin wasn't broken. She was given options on what to do but advised that cats are "free spirits."  

A 30-year-old man with light facial hair and possibly a tattoo on his left elbow reportedly tried to open a resident's door around midnight and then looked through the window, which was caught on security cameras.   

A busybody was suspicious that a tattooed woman in a sedan parked at a gas station had stolen the boxes she was allegedly cutting open but didn't offer any reasons as to why they thought that. She reportedly told the responding officer that she buys toys from thrift stores and resells them or gives them to her daughter. The officer saw her name on a few of the shipping labels. 

A lone package containing auto parts was spotted in the mall parking lot by someone who thought it was stolen. The items were collected and booked into evidence for safekeeping.  

Someone reportedly denied serving alcohol to a drunk customer, who had a difficult time standing up straight to leave. He got into a smaller gold SUV and was pulled over by police who allegedly noticed he was extremely sweaty, shaky and unsteady on his feet, but said he did not have any medical conditions other than back pain. After asking him about his drinking history, the officer called an ambulance, concerned he may be in withdrawal.
