    [ad_1]

    Sep. 1—A man called the Kalispell Police Department, alleging that his partner in Las Vegas had given away his cats, one of which was purportedly worth $5,000. He said Las Vegas police instructed him to go to the local police department to make a “courtesy report” to send to them. He told an officer he would report it in Las Vegas when he returned home.

    A welfare check was requested by an employee concerned about the well-being of a woman dressed in black who was allegedly dragging a big box around a parking lot and looking under cars while screaming for her rabbit. There was indeed a rabbit, which was eventually caught. Officers advised the woman of her warrant before she moved along.

    A man reportedly fell while trying to protect his bleeding dog from a rottweiler’s attack. The owner of the rotweiler was ticketed for having a dog at large. The other dog owner took his dog to the vet and, at the time, was unsure if he would seek restitution.

    A man brought his three dogs, which included an allegedly aggressive German shepherd, to Begg Park, letting them into a fenced area reserved for dogs under 30 pounds and someone called the police after reportedly hearing a dog yelp, saying they were unsure if one of his dogs “got a small dog,” claiming it had previously attacked a small dog.

    The man told officers his dogs had “so much energy” he liked to let them run around with no other dogs first, before letting them loose into the rest of the park. He said the accusations were false, complaining that it was “unfair” that the caller didn’t speak to him directly and left.

    A vehicle reportedly ran over a sprinkler.

    Aug. 25—Someone out walking their dog hid in the bushes and called the Kalispell Police Department when they reportedly happened upon about eight adults brawling in an apartment parking lot.

The most recent law enforcement contact at the apartment reportedly involved a man who was registered as a violent offender.

    Officers responded to a later call about an alleged dispute involving a man in his 30s and a woman who were yelling at each other in a parking lot, where, earlier, the man, who had been drinking, reportedly swung around a frying pan and “hit” people with bowls of water. He then got into a white Dodge Ram with a child and moved parking spaces. The man alleged that the woman threw a rock through his window.

    Someone called the police alleging a man sitting in the back of a swerving van held a gun to the driver’s head for a second before putting it down and had his arm around her. While the couple was glad someone reported what they thought was a crime in progress, the woman had actually been stung by a bee and assumed the caller mistook the man’s phone for a gun.
