A Ronan man is accused of leading law enforcement on a pursuit while intoxicated.
Razzmum Allen Walhood, 31, entered a plea of not guilty in Polson District Court on Oct. 15 to aggravated fleeing or eluding and felony DUI.
According to court records, on Sept. 13, a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy observed a Ford Super Duty truck allegedly traveling at approximately 80 MPH in a posted 35 MPH zone. The driver of the Ford didn’t stop, leading to a pursuit from Rocky Butte Road to a field off Mink Lane.
A creek in the field was used by law enforcement to help corner the truck, and Walhood was arrested.
Judge John A. Mercer set the case for trial on Feb. 8, 2027. Walhood remains at liberty.
