Monopoly game ends in fight

An apartment dweller told the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office heard “a lot of noise” from his upstairs neighbors and he said it sounded like “thumps” as though someone was repeatedly hitting the floor. It turned out the neighbors had gotten into a fight over a rousing game of Monopoly.

A sister was worried because she hadn’t heard from her brother in about two weeks, and she thought the woman he was staying with might have kicked him out. Eventually the brother contacted the concerned sister and law enforcement stopped looking for him.

A woman said “quarantine is making her mother go crazy.” The two women apparently got in an argument and the mother pulled a knife on her daughter. The mother and daughter were advised to stay in separate rooms for the night.

Someone believed he saw a video of an intruder running through a Bigfork house, but according to the homeowner it was just a false alarm.

A driver saw “two baby cows on the side of Foy’s Lake Road” but they weren’t blocking traffic.

A thief reportedly stole propane tanks off a camper “prior to the COVID-19 outbreak.”

A dog was seen running in circles in a pasture. An officer tried to contact nearby homeowners, who didn’t answer, so he retrieved the dog. The dog had apparently had a previous stroke, so it was experiencing neurological issues. It was returned to its owners.

An elderly woman apparently called 911 and she said everything was fine but she didn’t know how she had gotten in touch with 911.

A pistol was stolen from a man’s truck a week before he reported it to law enforcement.

Someone heard secondhand there were sheep on a hillside. She said she didn’t have specific location information for the sheep, just that “they were on the hill.”

Another caller said five of his sheep were missing after a mountain lion got into the property, killed one sheep and sent the others running. One of them was recovered but it was severely injured from being stomped by mules, and the others were still at large.

A woman called 911 twice because she was “testing phone lines.” She told the dispatcher she didn’t have an emergency and then called the dispatcher “vulgarities.”

A woman called the police after her husband and son when about thirty feet onto their neighbor’s property while clearing trees and the neighbor started making threats against them.

The pastor of a church believed people in a car in the parking lot were “shooting up drugs.” He said a lot of people come to the parking lot to “smoke and shoot up.” The people in the car were asked to leave the property.

A homeowner said someone released a cat in her driveway. The homeowner yelled at the visitor, but the cat depositor “ignored her and drove off.” The “black, fluffy, long-haired cat” took off and apparently wasn’t seen after that.
