A Kalispell man is being held in the county jail with bail set at $200,000 after allegedly assaulting and raping his girlfriend in March.  

Timothy Slater Burgess, 39, faces one count of sexual intercourse without consent in Flathead County District Court following an investigation by the Kalispell Police Department. He is expected to appear before Judge Dan Wilson for his arraignment on the felony charge on April 24.
