2 arrested in Bigfork following police pursuit

Two people were arrested early Wednesday morning following a police pursuit that spanned Lake and Flathead counties.

According to information from the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office, on Wednesday at about 1 a.m., authorities attempted to pull over a stolen vehicle in Polson. The driver failed to stop and Lake County authorities pursued the vehicle north on Montana 35.

A Flathead County deputy used stop sticks to safely disable the vehicle in Bigfork at the intersection of Montana 35 and Montana 83.

A male passenger and female driver fled on foot, but were quickly arrested by Flathead deputies.

The suspects were turned over to Lake County authorities.
