A Flathead Valley man at the center of a high speed chase and subsequent standoff with the regional SWAT team last spring signed a pretrial diversion agreement in October.
Prosecutors brought Hayes Goggles III, 37, up on a felony criminal endangerment charge following his April 28 arrest. He initially pleaded not guilty in Flathead County District Court.
Per the agreement, signed in October, Goggles is to remain law abiding, abstain from illegal drugs, refrain from firing guns within a quarter of a mile of a home and follow recommendations from his mental health providers for a year. Prosecutors will move to dismiss the case with prejudice after one year so long as Goggles abides by the agreement’s provisions.
