On March 25, 2025, officers from the Great Falls Police Department (GFPD) responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Stadium Sports Bar in Great Falls, Montana. Bradley Boulduc, aged 56, was identified as the suspect in connection with the incident. The police determined there was probable cause to charge Boulduc with both robbery and assault with a weapon, but he evaded capture at that time. Subsequent investigative efforts were coordinated by the Investigative Services Bureau and patrol officers in an attempt to locate Boulduc.

A tip received on March 28, 2025, indicated that Boulduc was near the intersection of 10th Ave S and 9th St S. Officers responding to the scene were unable to safely apprehend Boulduc before he entered his vehicle and fled. The officers pursued Boulduc, who refused to stop despite multiple opportunities to do so safely. The chase extended out of the city limits and back into Great Falls.

The pursuit ended when officers made deliberate contact with Boulduc's vehicle to stop it. Deputies from the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office assisted GFPD officers in preventing further flight. Boulduc was apprehended after law enforcement used less than lethal means, including a Taser, to subdue him. Following his arrest, Boulduc was medically assessed and found to have no serious injuries. He was subsequently taken to a hospital as a standard protocol to confirm his suitability for incarceration.

Senior Police Officer Zaine O’Meara sustained injuries during the arrest but was treated and released from the hospital shortly afterwards. Boulduc was taken into custody by the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office facing several charges. These include robbery and assault with a weapon, both felonies, as well as multiple misdemeanors such as obstructing a peace officer, resisting arrest, and traffic violations.

The case was detailed by Public Information Officer Matt Fleming, LT.
