Butte honors former sheriff who survived a car bomb explosion

Posted on August 19, 2020August 19, 2020 By David In Great Falls

Butte law enforcement is honoring the memory of former Sheriff Bob Butorovich, who died this week.

Butorovich became known around the world in a widely circulated video as the man who survived a car bombing in Butte more than 30 years ago.

It was December 20, 1989, when Terry Rossland rigged his car with explosives and had a standoff with police at the intersection of Montana and Broadway.
