12:29 a.m. A Kalispell man reported another man sitting on the side of the road waving his arms around. Thinking the man was in danger, the reporting party stopped to see if he was OK. The waving man said he was and told the good Samaritan to “get out of here.”

12:43 a.m. A local woman was looking in a ditch along Montana Highway 35 for the wallet that she lost while motorcycling the day before.

12:47 a.m. A wealthy Kalispell resident called 911 to announce he had hand sanitizer that he was willing to give away.

1:02 a.m. A Canadian man called to see if someone could check on his second home down in the Flathead Valley.

3:47 a.m. Someone reported seeing “vagrants” but added “they weren’t causing problems.”

3:56 a.m. Someone reported seeing a man in the ditch near Bigfork. The caller thought the man might have been hit by a car. Deputies responded to the scene and discovered that the man had not been hit by a car but was ready to fight anyone who bothered him.

4:39 a.m. A tool shed and chicken coop in Columbia Falls burst into flames.

6:06 a.m. A Kalispell resident called to report that there’s been a lot of mail theft going on recently.

7:21 a.m. Someone called to report an injured deer in their front yard. The animal had tried to stand up a few times, the caller said, but couldn’t get going.

7:22 a.m. A Kalispell man said his friend would not stop texting him.

9:54 a.m. A local resident sitting on the couch somehow pocket-dialed 911. The resident had no idea how it happened and was incredibly sorry that it did.

10:52 a.m. A Marion resident said someone ran her off the road.

11:21 a.m. A Columbia Falls man reported that someone was driving a beat-up Subaru around his neighborhood and it was starting to creep him out.

11:25 a.m. A Whitefish dog bit a man.

“Deputies responded to the scene and discovered that the man had not been hit by a car but was ready to fight anyone who bothered him.”

That’s up there with a guy who called 911 to say that if the police came to his house he’d defend himself. What made you make that choice? What made you think that was a good idea?

Only 15 minutes apart... I see these two cases as “linked”.

12:47 a.m. A wealthy Kalispell resident called 911 to announce he had hand sanitizer that he was willing to give away.**

1:02 a.m. A Canadian man called to see if someone could check on his second home down in the Flathead Valley.

** Extra bonus points for the extraneous adjective. I mean we are ALL wealthy if we can sanitize our hands after not having toilet paper.

This is my favorite:

3:56 a.m. Someone reported seeing a man in the ditch near Bigfork. The caller thought the man might have been hit by a car. Deputies responded to the scene and discovered that the man had not been hit by a car but was ready to fight anyone who bothered him. 

Also:

11:21 a.m. A Columbia Falls man reported that someone was driving a beat-up Subaru around his neighborhood and it was starting to creep him out. 

This person would find pretty much those whole northeast of the country very stressful...

The waving man said he was and told the good Samaritan to “get out of here.” 

I once stopped on a nearby bridge because a woman was stopped in her car in  the other lane , after dark, with no lights on. Very dangerous.

When I asked her if everything was ok, she got hostile and told me to leave, else she’d put a cap in my ass.

That’s word for word what she told me.

I regret not calling 911.

11:25 a.m. A Whitefish dog bit a man.

When I first read this, for half a second my brain registered “A Whitefish man bit a dog”.  Why, dude, WHY would you bite a d.... oh, that’s what it says.

If a dog bites a man, people are fine with it. If a man bites a dog, the man is a monster. How is that fair? Dogs must be manipulating us...

W as with my buddy once and he somehow butt dialed 911 while we were using an angle grinder. Sheriff showed up and said they got a 911 call that was just someone screaming.

I  grew up in Raleigh NC, and our area code is 919. My sister accidentally called 911 on more than one occasion.

Back in the AOL dial-up days a number for connection to the service started with 91* (I don’t recall the third number).  Our crappy modem on more than one occasion experienced some sort of glitch where it dialed 911.

I had to call tech support for AOL to get the service set to no longer use those numbers.

Calling the 911  because you see vagrants is next level ignorant
