A Kalispell man accused of drunkenly waving a handgun at fellow motorists during a January 2024 road rage incident earned a pair of suspended jail sentences last year.  

Jacob Michael Krone, 28, faced a felony assault with a weapon charge and a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence, first offense, following the Jan. 6, 2024, confrontation on Montana 35. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Flathead County District Court that same month. 

But Krone took a deal in May of that year that saw prosecutors amend the felony charge to misdemeanor assault in exchange for a pair of guilty pleas.
