A woman suffering an apparent mental health crisis in Whitefish earlier this month is facing a felony assault with a weapon charge in Flathead County District Court.  

Mia Yvette Webber, 28, remains in the county jail with bail set at $75,000 following the alleged April 1 attack. She is scheduled to appear before Judge Amy Eddy in Flathead County District Court for her arraignment on April 17.  

Authorities became involved after Webber's boyfriend told Whitefish Police officers he was worried about her about 5:30 a.m., April 1, according to court documents. The boyfriend later told investigators that Webber had attacked him with a knife earlier that morning, cutting him on the arm and drawing blood.  

The boyfriend said he was trying to sleep that night while Webber played video games. When his alarm went off for work about 3:30 a.m., she allegedly got on top of him and pinned him down. Pulling out a knife, she told him he was not going to work that day, according to court documents. 

After pushing her off, the boyfriend went into the laundry room. Webber followed and pulled his mobile phone from his pocket, court documents said. She allegedly stabbed it several times with the knife. After he took it back, she began taunting him with a knife, making small swings with it, court documents said.  

At least one struck home, hitting him on the shoulder and drawing blood, court documents alleged. The boyfriend later turned over photos of the wound to investigators.  

Officers picked up Webber at a Whitefish bowling alley and initially took her to Logan Health Whitefish, court documents said.  

She has two prior domestic violence convictions out of California, prosecutors wrote in charging documents.  

Assault with a weapon is punishable by up to 20 years in Montana State Prison and a $50,000 fine.
