Pursuit of man accused of threatening to kill family ends in arrest

A 37-year-old Kalispell man who led authorities on a chase through Kalispell, Evergreen and Creston on Sunday after allegedly threatening to kill his family and any law enforcement personnel in his way is behind bars and facing pending felony charges. 

Flathead County Sheriff’s Office deputies began pursuing Micah Winslow after finding him on Three Mile Drive in Kalispell while responding to the reported threats on Nov. 12, officials said in a press release. Confronted, Winslow allegedly began yelling and took off in a vehicle. 

Montana Highway Patrol troopers and Kalispell Police officers joined in the chase, which took authorities from Kalispell to Evergreen and Creston before returning to the Kalispell area, officials said. Winslow eluded spike strips and attempts by authorities to immobilize his vehicle during the pursuit, which ended on McMannamy Draw near the home of the targets of his threats, officials said.
