Suspect in Coram standoff faces felony charge

Prosecutors have charged the woman accused of attacking a teenage relative in Coram and sending other family members scattering under a hail of gunfire with felony assault with a weapon.  

Anne Marie Hislop, 41, remains in the county jail with bail set at $150,000 following her Nov. 21 arrest. She is expected to appear before Judge Robert Allison in Flathead County District Court on Dec. 19 for her arraignment on the felony charge.  

According to court documents filed on Nov. 22, two victims — one of them a 13-year-old — fled a Platte Road home in Coram as Hislop fired more than 20 rounds from a second-floor window overlooking the driveway. They told responding Flathead County Sheriff's Office deputies that Hislop had earlier fought the teen and threatened to kill both of them.
