A Troy woman is facing a felony charge after being accused of threatening man with a baseball bat.

Brandie Shelton, 49, was arrested Oct. 1 and charged with aggravated assault. Her arraignment is set for Monday, Oct. 21.

According to the court filing, Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy Luke Hauke arrested Shelton after she allegedly chased the unarmed man swinging a baseball bat and making harmful threats.

The alleged victim, who said he attempted to retreat, told the officer, “I thought she was going to kill me.”

According to a request seeking a order of protection, the man said the woman had threatened him six times.

A conviction on assault with a weapon charge may result in a sentence of 20 years in the Montana State Prison.
