Report of gun on campus unfounded
Two Glacier High School students’ report to a staff member alleging someone had brought a gun on campus proved to be unfounded, however, a student was given a “trespass notification” not to return to the school Monday following an investigation by Kalispell Police Department school resource officers Chad Fetveit and Cory Clarke.

The person who was on our campus was a student in School District 5 is being given a trespass notification and will not be allowed to be on our campus,” Hill wrote in the email.
According to a Kalispell Police report, a bout of road rage ended in a heated confrontation when a woman reportedly cut off a man driving a PT Cruiser who then allegedly followed the woman and cut her off in an alley. The woman reportedly got out of her vehicle, approached the driver of the Cruiser and yelled at him before returning to her own vehicle.

Police advised the woman against approaching other drivers and engaging in road rage altercations.

Police issued a warning to a woman for obstructing law enforcement after she reportedly had to be detained in handcuffs while her partner was being arrested. According to the report, officers pulled the couple over and proceeded to conduct a field sobriety test on the male driver.

Officers finally handcuffed the woman until her personal items were taken from the car and in her possession.
