Armed shoplifting suspect picks up robbery charge

Allegedly threatening employees of a big box retailer with a knife while shoplifting in Kalispell last week has earned a 31-year-old man a felony charge.  

Held in the county jail with bail set at $50,000, Dominic Prichard is expected to appear in Flathead County District Court before Judge Danni Coffman on June 26 for his arraignment on one count of robbery. 

Prichard came to the attention of employees at the Hutton Ranch Road store about 7:35 a.m., June 19, according to court documents. That’s when his card was declined at a register, court documents said.
