Flathead County Sheriff
Flathead County Sheriff's Office jailed a man on a half-dozen charges after a traffic stop at about 1:30 a.m. Friday. Deputies stopped Anthony Dorsey, 39, on Montana 206 and U.S. 2 and learned there was a warrant for him from Columbia Falls. According to the sheriff's report, Dorsey was placed in a Columbia Falls police patrol car and he kicked out a window. He was transferred to a deputy's car and he continued kicking. When he was taken out so officers could secure his feet, he slipped and fell. He said his back was broken in the fall. A deputy took him to the hospital, where doctors found that his back was not broken, so he went to jail. He's charged with two counts of criminal mischief, two counts of resisting arrest, theft and disorderly conduct.
