A nearby resident called the Kalispell Police Department, saying the man didn’t respond when they asked if he needed help, and that he was messing around with something metal that they were concerned was a gun. Police detained the man.

A woman allegedly called a property manager from her balcony and loudly complained about a neighbor to “make sure” the neighbor heard her grievances. Concerned about retaliation, she called police and, referring to the neighbor as the “gatekeeper of the stairwell,” said there were ongoing issues and felt unsafe. An officer advised her to stop antagonizing the neighbor and pursue a temporary restraining order. Although appalled at the blunt advice she thanked the officer for their time.

A couple of girls were allegedly spotted on top of a green Mercedes driving around a parking lot. Security at the location asked officers to kick them out along with a red pickup and a white car.
