A McDonald's employee called Kalispell police after spotting a man who appeared to have passed out in his vehicle at the drive-through reader boards. He was arrested for drunken driving.

The man she was staying with caught a ride to Missoula and hasn't been charged with anything at this time.

The chase ended on Four Mile Drive and Highway Patrol took the trio into custody.
