Saturday, June 13
• 12:47 a.m. — A heavily intoxicated man refusing to leave the Wolfden Bar “removed his pants” in protest to the bartender’s request to vacate the premises. The man was described as 6 foot tall, 230 pounds, blue shirt, “no pants.” The barroom rebel’s valiant demonstration ultimately was a loss — as he fought the law and the law won.

• 5:14 a.m. — A woman called 911 wanting to report her cousin going AWOL from the Army. The catch? She would not give up her cousin’s identity unless the sheriff’s office “cut her a check”, as she bargained with dispatchers to turn him in for “a hundred bucks.”
However enticing the offer was, dispatchers declined to pay up. One must beg the question, is working a ransom deal with the cops really the best idea here? What is this, the movie “Speed”?

• 8:45 p.m. — An employee at Doug Allard’s store reported that two girls came in and advised that man staying at the hotel is exposing himself in front of children. Upon police follow-up, the tenants turned out to be two German tourists who apparently did not get the memo on our culture’s attitudes towards nudity, and kindly agreed to put their shorts back on.
At least our nude foreign friends hadn’t yet made their way down to the lake before experiencing this “cold” truth.

Anyone who argues that Facebook and MySpace are not a stalker’s dream should look no further.
• 8:39 p.m. — A man reported that there appeared to be at least “10 people fighting” in Polson’s Sacajawea Park. Upon arrival a Polson officer could not locate any of the brawlers, adding “They must’ve took care of it themselves.”

Friday, May 29
• 7:49 a.m. — A woman advised 911 dispatchers that there was a guy at “The Duck” bar in Woods Bay last night who “tried to beat her ***.” She said the same man is down the street at her cousin’s house on Lakeview Drive and she would like to press charges.
