Highway Patrol is working with the County Attorney’s office to file charges against Spotted Elk, including felony assault of a peace officer.
ORIGINAL STORY:
A man was sent to the hospital, and will be spending the first part of the new year in jail after a car chase tonight.
It started when a Montana Highway Patrol trooper pulled over on a car on 1st Ave. because registration was not properly displayed. Sgt. Phillip Freed with MHP said when the trooper got to the drivers window, he saw a large bag of what they assume was methamphetamine. The trooper asked to see the bag, the driver pulled it out and that is when the driver punched the trooper in the head. The driver then started to drive off, dragging the trooper for 10-15 feet.
Highway Patrol chased the driver until he drove through a concrete barrier and down an embankment towards I-90 on the S 27th St. overpass.
Sgt. Freed says the man was taken to the hospital with a foot injury.
The trooper did not sustain any injuries.
Sgt. Freed says they believe alcohol was a factor in the crash. The man was also currently on federal probation. Â ….MORE
