Police Blotter - Flathead County Sheriff's and Kalispell Police ReportsSun, October 22, 2017: Thats Not a Great Parking Spot, Sir
BY JUSTIN FRANZ // OCT 25, 2017
6:16 a.m. A drunk and belligerent Columbia Falls man parked his truck on the train tracks. The man was advised that was not an ideal parking spot and BNSF Railway was advised not to run any trains until they got the truck off the tracks.
....
5 p.m. Two kids were sitting on a bridge and the caller wanted them checked out.
....
11:59 p.m. A Polson man called the Flathead County Sheriffs Office four times in one week, including in the middle of the night, to complain that some people allegedly hacked his email and posted what they found on Facebook. These people have also been saying mean things about him on Facebook. The man was informed that since he lived in Polson he should probably call the Lake County Sheriffs Office, but the caller was adamant that he talked to someone in Flathead County. In the end, local law enforcement officials determined no crime was committed.

7:49 p.m. A law enforcement officer stopped a car because a passenger had fired a gun out the window. The officer was concerned that they were trying to hunt animals from their car, but the suspect said he was merely shooting signs from the comfort of his own car, which apparently is OK.

Kalispell is about 5 miles south of Whitefish, which is famous for Zinke and the goofy nonnegotiable, nonrefundable, non-unpayable contract to restore Puerto Rico's electrical grid.
Weird part of the country. No wonder the unnamed Canadian called to ask what the heck was going on down there.
