I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | March 2, 2023 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY — A Bonners Ferry woman charged with multiple counts of battery against individuals pled guilty as part of a plea agreement.
On Dec. 8, 2022, law enforcement responded to an in-progress domestic disturbance when they encountered the alleged victim outside the residence. The individual told officers that she and Tia Elaine Hawks, 32, had argued. When she attempted to leave, she claimed she was hit from behind on her head by Hawks.
On Feb. 22, Hawks pleaded guilty and charges were amended to one county of battery to law enforcement and a misdemeanor battery charge. The other counts were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. Hawks will receive a mental health evaluation prior to sentencing.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 5.
