By Beacon Staff

The Kalispell Police and Flathead County Sheriff’s reports for Wednesday included the following:

7:17 a.m. A woman from Columbia Falls called in because she found a backpack that belongs to her husband in her daughter’s closet. The backpack was full of needles, scales and other suspicious supplies. She called the Sheriff’s Department because she didn’t know what to do and she was scared.

8:52 a.m. Someone tried to pry open the coin box of a washing machine at the White Birch Motel on Shady Lane.

3:10 p.m. A woman called from Haywire Gulch to say that there might be someone in her home but she wasn’t sure. She told dispatch she would wait in her car with her pistol until a deputy arrived. The deputy arrived and informed her there was no one in her home.
