Woman faces assault, other charges following domestic incident and jail disturbance
A 49-year-old Lincoln County woman is facing charges of partner or family member assault and criminal mischief following a domestic violence report and a later disturbance at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a residence on June 13 after a man reported that his wife, Holly Gannon, had assaulted him and was experiencing a mental health crisis. The man told deputies he had taken Gannon to Logan Health in Whitefish for an evaluation earlier that day, but she was released after two hours.
The man said Gannon came outside while he was speaking with their adult daughter, told him to get off the phone, then grabbed his phone and hair before ripping the phone from his hand. She allegedly yelled at him and chased him off the property. The man told authorities he feared for his safety when his wife was in what he described as a “manic state.”
