Law roundup: Brush up causes dust up

Someone’s son reportedly had the misfortune of brushing up against the wrong car while out shopping. The hothead in its driver’s seat started yelling at him and calling him names, including an outdated term used in a disparaging way. The son allegedly apologized and walked away, but when he returned, another customer reported that the man had called the police, so his parent called to make sure nothing was amiss.  

A woman allegedly went to the Kalispell Police Department crying, wanting to go to the emergency room, saying that she looked half-dead as it had been a couple of weeks since she was poisoned. She told an officer she was released from the hospital earlier with no explanation as to why she had a strong odor of dog feces in her nostrils that refused to go away. When asked for more information, she purportedly said, “It’s poison [expletive]” and handed over a cup of noodles. She suspected her boyfriend of three years as being behind the poisoning.   

Although one could question the healthfulness of instant noodles, the officer did not see any signs or symptoms of poisoning, nor could he smell the foul odor she described while sifting through the meal. However, since the officer likely wasn’t a doctor, they took her to the hospital and provided her with a packet on obtaining a temporary restraining order and attempted to follow up with her later.  

A litterbug reportedly kept putting trash on someone’s car windows. 

Four to five teens in a dark blue car with pink license plates allegedly shot something into a woman’s car that got all over her face. The teens pulled into a gas station and the alleged shooter got out with some sort of electrical squirt gun with a red blinking light and fan and shot at random people while continuing to target the woman’s car. She locked herself inside with the windows rolled up and called the police.  

A stepdaughter reportedly called 911 when her stepfather got into an argument about vacuuming. She told an officer that he said he was going to “blast” her face and she slammed the door in his face. She told officers she was packing her things to move out and had a ride on the way to pick her up. He and his wife reportedly told the officer they were in the process of moving out too.  

A grandparent was suspicious of a man with a gun who gave his grandson a ride home. During the call to police, the grandson was heard saying, “Get off the phone, I know him.” The gun-toting motorist reportedly left, driving into the grandparent's and neighbor’s lawns as he headed out.
