TOWNSEND â A top GOP state senator pleaded guilty Monday to obstructing a peace officer, stemming from a May 23 highway traffic stop, where he argued that he was exempt from being retained because of his status as a legislator.
âI got out of my car, to have a conversation with the officer; certainly that was not appropriate in any way, shape or form,â Sen. Jason Ellsworth told Broadwater County Justice of the Peace Kirk Flynn.
Ellsworth also said he wanted to apologize to the Highway Patrol officer who stopped him, saying she was âdoing her duty as a public servant.â

GREAT FALLS â The Montana Highway Patrol has added a new style option to its troopers uniforms. The MHP updates uniforms periodically, and the new style design is a nod to Montana culture and traditions.
The new hats and matching tie are intended to provide a modern update to their uniforms, while paying homage to Montanaâs western roots.
âYou know, the meaning behind the design of the Western hats is truly just a connection back to our Western roots,â said Sergeant Jay Nelson. âWeâve had a lot of uniform changes in the history of the Montana Highway Patrol, we did have a Western style hat a many years ago and weâre giving it a try, seeing what people think of it.â
