Vodka drinker winds up in Havre

| April 30, 2019 2:00 AM

A Havre law enforcement officer called Columbia Falls Police Department attempting to locate the family of a young woman they picked up who reportedly was highly intoxicated, had no identification and was wearing one sock and one shoe. She reportedly said she was given a ride by someone who gave her a bottle of vodka and “she drank the whole thing.”

A man on Nucleus Avenue claimed he was jumped and the “cops were in on it.” The man reportedly told dispatchers he was headed to a location to get “his belongings and move on” and threatened that if law enforcement was there “he was going to beat the [expletive] out of them.”

An alarm went off on First Avenue, but there was no emergency. Someone was just “cooking a spaghetti dinner and burned the toast.”

An agitated parent hung up on dispatchers and was purportedly “very upset that a police officer wouldn’t answer his phone call,” after 30 minutes and said “he was going to sue Flathead County for this.” The man was reportedly calling about his “out-of-control” child after his wife told him the youth was yelling and screaming.

An employee on U.S. 2 told police a woman appeared to be sleeping on the sidewalk for about 20 minutes.

An apartment dweller on Martha Road reported a vehicle was parking in her designated spot that she was paying for and didn’t know who it belonged to.

Kalispell Police Department responded in an agency assist call regarding a woman who said she came home to find her or someone else’s son, allegedly standing outside a back door with an assault rifle. She said officers had been at the location earlier and said when she noticed he was holding a weapon she confronted him about it and he reportedly told her it was an assault rifle and not to come any closer. She was concerned as she “couldn’t get outside safely” without passing the back door where he was. A suspect was detained by Flathead County Sheriff’s Office and the weapon, a “22” was located on the side of a shed.

A customer saw a shoplifter put something shaped like a rectangle in her purse, possibly a drill in a box.

A man reportedly dressed like a woman and wearing “really bad makeup” was seen “going into every yard on the block” and knocking on doors asking people for money in addition to checking car doors on the west side of town. When officers caught up with the alleged money-grubber he claimed he was looking for the Army recruiter and was given directions.

A woman requested extra patrol after she allegedly found out online that a man who came to her door trying to sell artwork was a convicted felon. She reportedly said he didn’t try to force his way in and wasn’t aggressive in any way, so, while it sounded like he wasn’t doing anything illegal and it did not appear he had any restrictions on where he could be — she just didn’t think “someone like this” should be allowed to go door-to-door selling artwork.

A man allegedly found drug paraphernalia in a bathroom and confronted an employee who said it wasn’t hers. When he reportedly advised her she could have a drug test done she declined and took off.

There were allegedly 10 people encircling two men who were punching each other.

A man went to the police department to say “thank you” and give police something.

Someone noticed a man wearing gray pants and a gray hoodie looking through windows and attempting to open doors at a high school, then headed toward Fifth Avenue.

Someone claimed a man kept coming to their residence and dumping items on their lawn, possibly upset because they did not want to be in a relationship.
