High-Speed Chase on I-90

On January 3, 2026, at 2:08 p.m., officers attempted a traffic stop of a vehicle that resulted in a pursuit. The pursuit proceeded west on I-90, where the suspect vehicle was driving at a high rate of speed. Due to a number of safety factors, officers discontinued the pursuit at the I-90 Jackrabbit exit. A short time later, a citizen contacted 911 and gave the location of the suspect vehicle in Bruce Industrial Park, where the suspect ditched their vehicle and fled on foot. The Belgrade Police Department responded to the area, located the suspect, and took them into custody. The suspect was held at the Gallatin County Detention Center on numerous charges, including criminal endangerment and criminal possession of dangerous drugs with intent to distribute, both felony offenses. Thank you to the Belgrade Police Department, the Montana Highway Patrol, and the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office for assisting with this incident.

In the course of the investigation, it was learned that the suspect and victim had a verbal altercation inside the casino that later resulted in a physical altercation outside in the parking lot where the stabbing occurred. Further investigation found a second suspect had tried to run the victim over in a car after they were stabbed, and the victim had to jump out of the way of the vehicle to avoid being hit.
