BUTTE — A man pleaded guilty Thursday to spraying two Montana State Patrol troopers with bear spray after a car chase that ended in Butte earlier this year.
Colby Zier pleaded guilty to two counts of assault on a peace officer and criminal possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Zier used bear spray on the officers during a brief standoff following a car chase that ended in the 1700 block of Elm Street.
One officer fired his gun during the incident, but no one was harmed.
Zier remains in custody on $1 million bond and will be sentenced at a later date.
