Police Blotter: Gun in a Bucket, Bra Smugglers

By Beacon Staff

The Kalispell Police and Flathead County Sheriff reports for Tuesday included the following:

10:08 a.m. A woman confronted a man who was grading the end of the road near her property. She thought he was on her property and that he needed to ask her permission. The man noticed that the woman was carrying a gun in a bucket and called the Sheriff’s Department. The woman claimed that she habitually carries the gun in her bucket for protection. The man was not on her property, therefore neither party was doing anything wrong.

12:53 a.m. A worried Kalispell woman called in because she saw a man carrying a garbage bag.

3:42 p.m. A woman and her accomplice boyfriend were caught stealing bras and panties from ShopKo. A marijuana pipe was also found in the young man’s pants.

9:32 p.m. A Columbia Falls woman called the Sheriff’s Department because she and her husband were worried that someone had broken into their home and was presently still inside. Her husband was standing by with a gun, just in case.
