Skate park incident involves knife fight
A pair of men assaulting another man and the involvement of a knife drew Kalispell Police Department officers to the Woodland Skate Park. While the victim refused medical treatment, one of the suspects also called 911 to say he had been involved in a knife fight and that his fingers were bleeding.
The dispatcher noted that while the suspect was talking, several voices could be heard in the background, some of them coaching the suspect on what to say. The suspect was eventually arrested on an active warrant in another felony robbery case in which he is alleged to have broken another man’s jaw.
The incident remains under investigation.
