Libby man accused of intimidation, drug possession

A Libby man is accused of intimidation and drug possession following an incident earlier this month.

Aaron Jeffrey Graham is being held in the Lincoln County Detention Center on felony charges of intimidation and criminal possession of dangerous drugs.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 27. Graham’s bail is set at $35,000.

According to the charging document, Libby police officer Vince Smart was called to the sheriff’s office to speak to a woman. The woman said Graham was her boyfriend and he was home alone with her children while he was allegedly “high on meth.”

She told him she wanted to end their relationship and he reportedly got angry. He allegedly said he would take their son and drive his vehicle into a tree at a high rate of speed. He also said if she called the cops he would have a standoff, the court document said.

In further questioning by the officer, the woman said Graham was aggressive while disciplining the kids and she believes it was more than what would be considered appropriate. She also said the children said he is more violent when she is not home.

Officer Smart soon arrested Graham and searched him for weapons or a way to escape. He placed the items in a paper bag, including a black flashlight.

Later, staff at the jail told Smart they found pills inside the flashlight. The pills were identified as Tizanidine and Clonazepam, both of which are available with a prescription. Clonazepam is a Schedule 4 controlled substance.
