Law enforcement responded to reports of a large group of people fighting in the crowd at Majestic Valley Arena on Highway 93 South on Saturday, Feb. 11 around 9:30 p.m.

The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office received numerous 911 calls reporting the fight. Initial reports stated as many as 50 people were involved. Numerous deputies as well as officers with the Kalispell Police Department and Montana Highway Patrol responded. A boxing event called “Flathead Valley Fight Night” was being held at this location at the time.

As law enforcement arrived, they observed a chaotic scene, and several people in attendance at this event were members of the Pagen’s and Warlords Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs from chapters located in Washington. At least two people, an adult male and a 16-year-old male were assaulted and significantly injured by members of these motorcycle clubs. The victims were transported to Logan Health for treatment.

After interviewing witnesses and viewing video of the incident, deputies located and arrested Brandi Partney, age 36 from Walla Walla, Washington.
