Man tries to rob restaurant, then orders meal
A Kalispell man will now be facing a slew of charges after allegedly attempting to rob Taco Johns with a replica of a Glock tactical pistol.
Officials with the Kalispell Police Department say that Shane Roe, 24, entered the business on Monday afternoon, displayed his pistol and then demanded free food. The employee refused, and then Roe is said to have laughed and demanded money from the register. The employee refused again. Roe then placed an order, paid for it and sat down with his female companion.
Officers later found Roe outside the Kalispell Center Mall and when he tried to hide his gun from view, he was arrested at gunpoint. The gun was later determined to be an air-soft pistol.

Bounced check leads to bank robbery charge in S.C.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Authorities say a man robbed a bank in South Carolina after the $173 check he tried to cash bounced. Police say the man gave a teller the personal check on Monday morning, but the teller couldn't cash it because there wasn't enough money in the account.
Authorities say the man told the teller he had to have the cash or someone was going to kill him. He wrote a note saying he was robbing the bank. Police say the teller gave the man some money and he ran away. Investigators say they have a suspect, but have not made an arrest.
