A Ronan woman is accused of stabbing another woman during a fight. Meadow Butterfly Blackwolf, 19, entered a plea of not guilty in District Court in Polson April 16 to felony assault with a weapon.

One of the women was bleeding from multiple areas of her body. No injuries were seen on Blackwolf.
The officer located an antler-handled, single-blade knife in the immediate area of the fight. After securing the knife in his patrol unit, the officer called for an ambulance.
The ambulance crew indicated the victim suffered several stab wounds and transported her to St. Luke Hospital in Ronan. The victim told investigators that Blackwolf hit her first.
