Linda Carrie Williams was charged with felony criminal child endangerment.
According to court documents, police responded to a report of an order of protection violation at a man’s Empire Loop residence in Kalispell at 11:21 p.m. on July 18.
The man told police that Williams, who he reportedly had an order of protection against, had left his residence, according to court documents filed at Flathead District Court on July 20.
An officer located and pulled over the vehicle Williams was allegedly driving on Stillwater Road.
