Apr. 17—A clairvoyant man called the Kalispell Police Department to report that teen drivers were allegedly speeding, weaving in traffic and drifting at a light in a Mustang, Corvette and Hellcat. Then he said he was unsure if the cars were driving recklessly but had a premonition of them attempting to drag race and wanted to “preemptively report it in case” they were going to drive recklessly. Officers located the vehicles parked at a bar and grill.
Someone alleged that a man in a car with a German shepherd was baiting squirrels for the dog to attack in a park. The man told officers he was trying to get the squirrel back up a tree, so the dog didn’t chase it. He also told officers he liked to bring his dog to the park when it wasn’t crowded and enjoys talking to animals. Officers let him know that dogs have to be on a leash in city parks.
Officers stopped a pedestrian to educate them about the city ordinance against feeding fowl in a city park because no one wants the return of food-aggressive ducks and geese.

Kalispell Police counseled her about obtaining a temporary restraining order and advised her not to engage with him online.
