Law roundup: Teens test the waters with squirt guns

Water-gun-toting teenagers in a black car with pink license plates were reportedly stalking the city again. Someone called the Kalispell Police Department, complaining that they were driving recklessly and had almost hit them. After the near miss, the teens shot at the victim with their squirt guns.  

A knife-wielding man allegedly hit another man in the head and pushed him to the ground, telling him that if he caught him sleeping in the area again, he was going to kill him. 

Someone asked officers to check on the welfare of a man in the grass wearing a shirt that read “Las Vegas” and khaki shorts because he was reportedly swaying and talking to himself. They called back to report he was “falling back and hitting his head.” The man was drunk but generally OK.  

A “very unwell” woman was purportedly tearing stuff out of her backpack and shaking in the middle of a turn lane before going to the ground. Officers spoke to the woman, who told them she was being goofy while walking in the street when several items fell out of her backpack. She said she stopped to pick up her belongings. 

Police received a call from a resident wanting to report concerning behavior occurring across the street. They alleged that people were coming and going from a camper, fights were happening and that drug activity was picking up. The resident said that they heard a man say, “You know that was good [expletive].” Officers planned to mount extra patrols in the neighborhood. 

Officers told the people in a vehicle with an attached trailer parked by the movie theater to move along. The man said he and his girlfriend were waiting for her first check to find a long-term camping.
