Law roundup: Flock of chickens fly the coop

Chickens were running up and down the road and a woman was afraid dogs would get them. The woman told the Kalispell Police Department that none of her neighbors had chickens. She waited until animal control arrived to show them where the chickens had flown onto a neighbor’s porch.

A woman allegedly cried in the driver’s seat of a truck while a male passenger destroyed his phone outside. He got back into the truck, grabbed her by the neck and shook her. A later call came in, possibly about the same couple, where someone said an unhappy woman jumped out of a truck to get away from a man and looked like she had been beaten. They offered to help her and she refused but told officers they had video of the incident if needed.

A woman’s husband was allegedly chasing her truck, tailgating her, honking and screaming. He reportedly broke a mirror on her vehicle.

A man slumped over the wheel of a vehicle reportedly woke up and started driving, which raised someone’s suspicions he was drunk. The person called officers and said another customer told them he almost hit them in the parking lot.

A grocery store manager asked a woman living in a white van on the east side of the building to leave, but they hadn’t. The woman and the van had an extensive history of being reported around town.

A casino customer allegedly brought a black case containing needles and other paraphernalia to an employee, however, she left her purse behind. Officers contacted the woman to pick up her wallet and she said the black case was also hers, just not the drugs. Officers informed her they would destroy both the case and the drugs.

Security was suspicious of two cars that kept coming and going in the parking lot after they had run them off earlier. One or more people had a history with law enforcement.

Friends of someone’s intoxicated son called them for help when he reportedly refused to go to the ER after hitting his head on the steering wheel of a parked vehicle and punching the windshield. The parent called officers asking for assistance.

A woman once again called 911 screaming obscenities at dispatchers to stop calling her and told them, “they were the ones committing the crime.”
