A Libby man - 53-year-old William M. Boaz - is facing felony charges of assault with a weapon, criminal endangerment, and assault of a family member after pulling a gun when his wife told him that she wanted a divorce.
Boaz, who is being represented by local attorney Ann German, pleaded not guilty to the offenses Feb. 18 in Lincoln County District Court. County attorney Marcia Boris is prosecuting the case. His next scheduled court hearing is March 17.
According to court documents, on Jan. 30, a woman approached Libby Police about the alleged incident and that she had petitioned for a protection order. Five days previously, she sat down with Boaz and told him that she wanted a divorce after the two had talked about how the relationship wasn’t working or healthy.
