Driver's lack of control leads to charges

Kalispell Police stopped a driver on suspicion of drunken driving Thursday night on Center Street. He was handcuffed behind his back and placed in a patrol car. Assistant Police Chief Roger Krauss said the man managed to manipulate his arms from behind his back to his front and then "urinated all over inside the car." As a result, he was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing an officer, criminal mischief and having an open container of alcohol.
