KALISPELL — A man was arrested following a Tuesday morning pursuit with law enforcement in Kalispell.

The incident began when a Kalispell police officer attempted to make a traffic stop on East Idaho Street shortly after 11:30 a.m.

KPD reports the man — identified as 39-year-old Eric Appl — fled the scene and led officers on a pursuit through the city.
