A Kalispell woman has been charged with a felony after she allegedly pointed a rifle at a man and shot bullets into his vehicle.

Andrea Marie Brass, 38, was booked into Flathead County Jail Friday after police responded to a disturbance with a weapon in Columbia Falls.

After talking to witnesses, police alleged that Brass had threatened a man who had knocked on the door of a woman’s home in Columbia Falls. Brass reportedly came outside of a neighboring house and advised the man to leave. The man told police he ignored Brass and continued to knock on the neighbor woman’s door. The man said he heard gun shots within a minute of the woman answering her door.

According to the police report, the man turned around to see Brass pointing a rifle at him. He told police Brass shot in his direction and shot into his truck at least three times.

Officers reportedly located three bullets in the man’s truck. Eye witnesses allegedly told police Brass had shot the weapon. According to the police report, Brass later admitted to shooting the rifle. The Kalispell woman will be arraigned in Flathead District Court before Judge Robert B. Allison on March 29.
