An employee asked a youth sitting in a gray Dodge sedan parked in a grocery pickup spot to move. The boy, who was allegedly vaping, told the employee he was underage and not old enough to drive, but moved the car to a handicapped spot anyway, almost backing into a woman and child in the process. His father came out of the store, got into the driver’s seat, and they left. The employee called the Kalispell Police Department to make them aware of the incident.

A woman reportedly called the police when she couldn’t find her vehicle in the parking lot, saying she hit the alarm in case she parked it elsewhere and didn’t hear anything. The car was found.

A man reportedly threatened and swore at an employee before getting into a silver Dodge Ram with North Dakota license plates, where a woman tried to calm him. He was allegedly in a tiff because the employee removed misbehaving teens.

An inebriated woman allegedly stumbled around a gas station and bought more alcohol before driving away in a white Pontiac Grand Am, headed eastbound on Idaho. 

Officers responded to a report of a man stumbling around a parking lot, who allegedly hit a light pole with a white pickup and drove away. An ambulance was requested to check out the disoriented man who reportedly has a seizure disorder. There was minor damage to the light pole. 

A man was reportedly trespassing at an apartment building and was banging on someone’s door, threatening to hit a woman, so she left and called the police.

Someone was reportedly very concerned that children whipping up and down the road on electric bicycles were going to get hit.

Employees allegedly got hold of a shoplifter’s bag after she ran out of the store and got into a blue Dodge Caravan that left southbound on U.S. 93. The bag appeared to contain most of the items she had reportedly stolen.
