Law roundup: Downstairs tenant sick of living below House of Pain

Tired of hearing the neighbors above her jump up, jump up and get down, a downstairs neighbor reported the shenanigans to the Kalispell Police Department. They were also blasting music, she said, no doubt to help them get the feeling, jump up and touch the ceiling. Officers discovered the upstairs tenants were a group of young adults enjoying video games and gymnastics. They agreed to pack it up, pack it in.  

Officers towed the Dodge Ram of a motorist suspected of driving under the influence. The driver refused to submit to a preliminary breath test.  

Other officers pulled over a white GMC pickup suspecting that the driver’s difficulty staying in a lane was the result of alcohol or drugs. It turned out that the motorist was fine, just new to driving a lifted truck.  

Police officers stopped the driver of a black Dodge pickup who was traveling without a license plate. The motorist told officers that he recently bought the vehicle in California, but removed the California license plate because he thought it looked fake. He was instructed to put it back on.  

Authorities shepherded a man away from a fire pit at the request of a caller.  

A man found himself in police custody after he became physical with the mother of his child.  

Noticing that a red van was parked in the lot the last couple of nights, an employee asked the police to move the occupants along. He asked that they remind the interlopers that sleeping in the lot is against the rules. 

At first, the problem was just that a green Ford Explorer had been seemingly abandoned in the parking lot. Then people started sleeping in it. Tired of the weekslong situation, an employee phoned the police and asked that officers intervene.
