A Pondera County Sheriff’s deputy found the truck on Highway 44 near Conrad driving away heading west and deputies began chasing after him. The man allegedly shot two rounds at deputies. Police chased him through into the town of Valier and stopped at the Valier Pavilion boat ramp where police were able to block his escape.
By that time,an unknown number of officers from multiple other agencies had arrived, including the Great Falls Police Department, Cascade County Sheriff’s Office, Montana Highway Patrol, Glacier and Toole County Sheriff’s Office, Conrad Police, Blackfeet Law Enforcement, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the FBI.
After many law enforcement agencies bore down on him for 3 hours, he shot himself, committing suicide under police duress.

Nicole Ann Bell
Case # :451
Age :26
Gender :Female
Race : White
Date : 03/17/2023
Location : Division St+Harlan Ave
City : Evansville
County : Vanderburgh
State : Indiana
Agency : Vanderburgh County SO
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
Disposition : No Known charges
Open records summary :
Special task force officers saw Bell in what they felt was a drug transaction and they escalated a chase that ended at Division Street and Harlan Avenue when she crashed into an overpass and died. She had been a mother of three. Police allege they found half a gram of fentanyl in her possession after her death. Video of the event cannot be found and is unlikely to have been released as this was an undercover drug sting. Considering the involvement of a special drug task force, it is further questioned whether she was hunted by a marked cruiser or a civilian unmarked detective car and whether she knew who was chasing her.
