A Libby woman alleged to have assaulted several law enforcement officers April 18 pleaded not guilty.

Ashley Siefke, 22, is charged in Flathead District Court with felony counts of assault on a peace officer and criminal endangerment as well as misdemeanor assault with bodily fluid.

According to a court document, a Flathead County Sheriff’s deputy followed Siefke after seeing her driving at high speed with her headlights off and failing to stop at an intersection. After she pulled into a parking lot, other law enforcement officers arrived as backup.

A Flathead County sergeant and a detention officer approached Siefke and reported smelling alcohol. She eventually was removed from the vehicle.

While being escorted to a patrol vehicle, however, Siefke allegedly kicked the detention officer in the hip and continued to resist arrest, spitting and kicking at officers attempting to shut the patrol-car door.

The court document also alleges that when a deputy tried to place a spit hood on Siefke, she did a backward somersault and kicked him in the eye with her booted foot.

After Siefke was finally restrained and placed in the patrol car, she allegedly managed to remove the spit hood and restraints and began hitting her head on the cage. The court document states Siefke remained combative at the jail, spitting and kicking at the detention officer.

“Because of her combative nature, no DUI investigation was conducted on Siefke, although officers suspected she was under the influence of either alcohol or drugs,” the document reads.

During a bond reduction hearing held alongside her arraignment Thursday, Siefke claimed she had no memory of the incident. District Judge Heidi Ulbricht ordered her bail reduced from $25,000 to $2,000. Siefke’s attorney had asked for her to be released on her own recognizance.

Siefke has two previous juvenile court cases, but both files are sealed.

If convicted of her charges, Siefke faces between two and 21 years in prison and a fine of up to $101,000. Her next hearing is set for May 8.
