Good morning, Billings.

Billings police held a 32 year old man after a high speed chase on Tuesday night in South Billings when he allegedly tried to hit an officer with a stolen vehicle — in southeastern Montana, crews are fighting wildfires including a fire covering 1000 acres near Colstrip and a blaze burning 1500 acres in Treasure County, while the Tumbleweed nonprofit is giving school supplies to students facing homelessness as schools expect about 550 such students this fall.

Jaylen Migual Medicine Bull, 32, pleaded not guilty to felony charges for criminal endangerment and vehicle theft and a misdemeanor for driving with a high blood alcohol level after leading a police chase in south Billings Tuesday evening after stealing a vehicle from Bozeman — bail was set at $500,000 and his next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 26.

The inaugural Rodeo Billings starts tonight at MetraPark — it will run nightly through Saturday evening — marking the new outdoor arena's opening event.

MontanaFair celebrated its 110-year anniversary by featuring world-class juggler Matthew Baker, who amazed families with stunts and comedy from his time on Americas Got Talent.

Baker, who has performed in 25 countries and all 50 states during a 25-year career, said his natural skills and playful style continue to draw crowds—energizing the fair.

Residents in Worden and Ballantine will get safe drinking water when a project funded by federal stimulus funds+ nearly $3 million from Yellowstone County and a $3.1 million USDA loan is completed by July 2026.

Billings council member Jennifer Owen raised concerns about a potential state mental hospital on Skyway Drive near High Sierra Park because it does not match the community’s residential plan.

She expects the council to discuss the proposal at an upcoming work session while state officials have not provided further details.
