The suspect, identified in charging documents as 21-year-old Trenton Turnquist of Belgrade, reportedly struck four vehicles in the Bozeman Beach parking lot before driving away.
Turnquist then allegedly drove out on Manley Road and hit three more vehicles parked outside of MAP Brewing. MTN News spoke to one woman who was in MAP and came outside to find her car smashed up.
Charging documents say police located Turnquist near the intersection of Rouse Avenue and Griffin Drive. A white Suburban was crashed in a ditch nearby. Turnquist was allegedly belligerent and verbally abusive and displayed signs of impairment.
