Brunell had worked at the Sanction, Treatment, Assessment, Revocation and Transition Center in Butte. Prosecutors say while Brunell called several people before her trial in attempts to intimidate a witness slated to testify. A sentencing hearing will be held after a presentence investigation is completed for both the witness tampering and original charges.
