Deputies arrest violent woman

Flathead County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a woman on a rampage at a McCaffery Road property after she repeatedly attacked a man.

Initially, she punched the man twice and broke a window, getting a minor cut on her hand. She also went after the man with a screwdriver, but he took it from her, convinced she was trying to slash the tires on a van. When deputies arrived, she agreed to stay in the house.

They again responded a half hour later, after the woman came back outside, punched the man again and choked him, giving him a busted lip. She then went back inside and pretended to go to bed but was arrested when the deputies arrived for a second time.
