The charging document against a Troy man accused of leading law officers from two states and three counties on a wild and bizarre chase earlier this month revealed more details of the harrowing incident.

Caleb David Covey, 37 is facing multiple felony charges following the hours and miles-long chase throughout south Lincoln County and into Boundary County, Idaho on Jan. 13.

According to the Montana Department of Corrections, Covey is being held in a confidential location. He was first taken to Kootenai Health in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho with several self-inflicted wounds after the chase ended on Highway 200.
