10:20 a.m. A Kalispell resident called to report that two teens wearing “basketball jackets” had keyed a car. The resident didn’t want to file charges — just thought authorities should know.
11:53 a.m. A cantankerous, elderly gentleman in the Hillcrest Estates called to report that some mischievous kids were throwing rocks into his yard.
12:40 p.m. Deputies returned to Steel Bridge Road to pick up an abandoned puppy. Several puppies had been picked up the previous day, but the one unfortunate pup had been accidentally left behind. The dogs are awaiting adoption at the animal shelter.

5:28 p.m. A Kalipsell woman called to report a phising scam. She had received a call from someone who said they had a package to deliver and wanted to confirm her identity.
