Prosecutors have charged the 34-year-old suspect arrested after allegedly leading deputies on a chase through Evergreen over the weekend with one felony count of criminal endangerment.
Derek Bruce Bigman of Kalispell is expected to appear before Judge Amy Eddy in Flathead County District Court on July 11 for his arraignment. He remains in county jail with bail set at $50,000.
Bigman allegedly drew the attention of law enforcement while driving east on U.S. 2 about 11:20 p.m. with no headlights or taillights. When a passing Flathead County Sheriff's Office deputy attempted a traffic stop on Bigman's Chevrolet Blazer, the 34-year-old traversed a sidewalk and drove into a nearby apartment complex, court documents said.
