Fugitive to be extradited

Flathead County Sheriff's deputies will extradite a 20-year-old man they arrested Wednesday after a foot chase near a convenience store on U.S. 2 in Hungry Horse. He has a $25,000 warrant in Missouri. Deputies were called to the scene after he got into a fight with another man, who got away. He was arrested for possession of alcohol and resisting arrest. His first mistake: running from deputies. His second mistake: making that decision after deputies had cuffed him.

A 15-year-old boy was reportedly sitting in his car at a red light at the intersection of U.S. 2 and Montana 206. When the light changed, the car in front of him suddenly sped up and stopped, causing a rear-end collision. The man who was rear-ended jumped out of his car, repeatedly threatened the 15-year-old with physical harm, and demanded his money. The boy gave him $20 and the angry driver took off. He was driving a blue Dodge Intrepid and could face robbery charges.
