A woman who allegedly fought with cops after her arrest in connection with a string of incidents in various stages of undress last year has received a pair of suspended sentences in Flathead County District Court.  

Ashley Lynn Dryden, 33, faced charges of felony assault on a peace officer and misdemeanor driving under the influence and assault with bodily fluids following her run-in with the Flathead County Sheriff's Office on April 17, 2023. Deputies began searching for her after receiving reports of a woman walking around Martin City nude from the waist down and yelling obscenities. 

While arriving deputies were unable to locate the partially nude woman in Martin City, they received subsequent reports of a theft at a gas station near the intersection of U.S. 2 and Montana 40. The suspected shoplifter was described as a shoeless or barefoot woman, court documents said. One witness described her as pushing a red Ford Escape.
