Law roundup: Resident wakened by hair-raising screams

A resident woke up to sounds of a woman screaming. He looked outside to see the woman with blue hair dye on her face, standing on the side of the road, seemingly screaming into the void. Kalispell Police advised the woman and her boyfriend to move along.    

A worried driver called the police, concerned that her car might be damaged after a Jeep reportedly struck the driver’s side door while exiting a parking lot. The Jeep driver left after giving her his name and phone number. He reportedly told the officer that he swerved around the vehicle and didn’t make contact. However, the incident showed that he didn’t have car insurance and was ticketed.  

Two children under 10 were reportedly riding dirtbikes on a walking path, which someone didn’t think they should be doing. 

A driver with a child passenger headed to the Sheriff's Office when he thought a silver Chrysler had followed him from the mall parking lot to a gas station.   

Officers checked on an alarm that was set off in a building and spoke to nearby building tenants who said that a man with a history of breaking into the building was possibly the culprit. Officers found the building locked and secured with no signs of forced entry.  

A hotel employee called police for assistance in handling a hysterical woman who wanted to book a room, saying her passport was destroyed. She was able to contact her mother who helped her book a room and planned to have the Flathead County Crisis Assistance Team help her through the process of obtaining a new ID.  

A restaurant employee found a purse and turned it in to the police department, where it was picked up by the owner.  

A black and white great Dane and a large brown dog were running loose, barking and raising cane.
