911 calls from 2/1-2/17

Monday, Feb. 1
- 7:41 p.m. – A Polson woman reported to 911 that she had just “had a knife pulled on her” by another woman who she was attempting to collect money from after selling her an old computer.

Tuesday, Feb. 2
- 9:51 a.m. – A Ronan woman called 911 and reported that she had recently allowed a man to use her home phone who alerted her that the line was “tapped!” She told dispatchers that she had already called the phone company who had told her that the phone line was indeed not tapped, but she felt she should contact the authorities anyways.

- 9:53 p.m. – An employee of Fraser Fur Farm on Terrace Lake Road (a farm with bobcats and lynx, mind you) reported to 911 that they had received an anonymous call from an unidentified woman that “terrorist” members of an “animal welfare coalition” will invade the property and attempt to “release the farm’s animals” as the caller claimed they had in many other instances.
Not that I would condone this sort of behavior, because it’s against the law, but what exactly constitutes a “terrorist” these days. Unless the group intends on giving all the bobcats and lynx rabies and a thirst for human blood and then sicking them on the township of Ronan – this is not an act to “incite terror.”
I think we might be jumping the gun on this one, in other words, keep the national terror “skittle” level at citrus yellow for now. You do have to watch out for those raccoons with dynamite strapped to their chests though, they’ll get ya.

Wednesday, Feb. 3
- 4:14 a.m. – The same Ronan woman from earlier dialed back 911 and wanted to discuss an incident of “attempted murder” with an officer.
She claimed to dispatchers that the Bread Basket in Ronan had attempted to poison her by “putting too much salt in her food.” She clarified her connection between the food and attempted homicide by adding “that much salt can kill a person with as high of blood pressure as me.”
She told dispatchers that she did not want to speak with Ronan officers regarding the incident as they “are too negative” and have “sneered” at her before about the “phone tapping.”
The woman then went on to add that St. Luke’s hospital is also in on the blatant assassination “alliance” – yes, she actually called it an “alliance” – as they had “intentionally gave her psychotic meds without telling her.”
Well, the jig is up – and it’s about time folks. Finally, someone has come along and exposed the obvious conspiracy plot between the tireless public servants who guard our communities from both illness and harm. What’s their angle anyways?

Thursday, Feb. 4
- 8:38 a.m. – A Polson woman reported to 911 that she had received three calls recently stating that she had “won a Mercedes.”

Friday, Feb. 5
- 10:49 p.m. – 911 dispatchers received a traffic complaint from a male driver who said he was nearly run off the road by another vehicle at Highway 93 and Lakes Corner.
With a detailed description, officers later located the vehicle at the Ronan Town Pump and – upon searching the vehicle – found a glass pipe with residue from drug usage. One person was booked on possession of drug paraphernalia.

Saturday, Feb. 6
- 11:34 p.m. – A routine traffic stop by Polson Police, spurred on by the smell of mary jane hanging in the air, led to a consented search of the vehicle and the seizing of a glass pipe and two sandwich baggies of marijuana. An individual was booked on possession of dangerous drugs.

Sunday, Feb. 7
- 4:50 p.m. – A concerned mother called 911, as well as poison control, to report that her 15-year-old daughter had been caught “huffing dust remover” from an aerosol spray can.

Tuesday, Feb. 9
- 3:31 a.m. – A Ronan woman called 911 to report that a man was standing at the end of her driveway on Timberlane Road with a car stuck in the ditch in what she thought was suspect for “drunk-driving.” Turned out, she nailed it on the nose and a DUI arrest was made at the scene.

Sunday, Feb. 14
- 6:10 p.m. – A male caller reported to 911 that he witnessed someone throw a “lit object” out of a moving vehicle near the Lake View Village in Polson. The caller suspected the item may have been drug-related. Officers seized a “tin-foil object with some residue showing” on it from the scene, but had an unknown suspect at the time.

Monday, Feb. 15
- 7:56 a.m. – A bartender from the Pigasus Bar reported to 911 that she had just come across two of her cell phones ruined – one smashed-in and another soaked in water.

- 5:19 p.m. – A Charlo man reported to 911 that the “back of his hay wagon is open” and it was “not the last time he had seen it.” The man added that he also has five goats and that two of them are now dead – not sure himself the connection between the separate incident.
The caller added that in the early morning he had heard a horse whinnying and figured that a horse would “only make that kind of noise” if it were being ridden by someone who had “stopped to get it some hay.”
By Jove, I think he’s got it! Pretty much an open and shut case, I’d say. Nice work everyone.

- 7:46 p.m. – A St. Ignatius woman reported to 911 that she had just nearly run over two females who were on the ground, “laying in the street, duking it out” in front of the old Your Choice Video store in Mission.

Tuesday, Feb. 16
- 12:16 a.m. – The same Charlo man from earlier called back and said that he believes someone is “molesting his livestock.” The caller added that he still strongly believes that “horsed riders are stealing his hay at night.”

Wednesday, Feb. 17
- 6:59 p.m. – An employee of the Old Timer Café in St. Ignatius reported to 911 that a man had been digging through their dumpster behind the restaurant, and questioned how the authorities would catch the dumpster-diver.
First off, I truly do love the Old Timer’s food – so keep up the good work guys – and evidently so does this guy also… a LOT! Now I know in the modern age of identity theft fraud and “phishing” dumpster-diving is now a threat. But when it’s behind a restaurant my first thought is ‘hey, this guy wants this food bad enough that he’s willing to eat it out of a dumpster.’
I say let ‘em at it. Bon appetite my friend.
