MPD Explain Sunday Night Disturbance, No Arrests Were Made

At around 7:30 Sunday night, Missoula Police Officers responded to the report of a disturbance between neighbors in the 2000 block of Burlington Avenue. Police Public Information Officer Travis Welsh explains.

"The incident escalated when one of the persons involved reportedly made a verbal threat toward the other that involved mention of a weapon. Officers identified that person as a 58-year-old adult female who remained inside her residence and refused communication other than yelling at officers through exterior windows. A decision to ‘stand down’ came after spending extensive time and effort attempting communication with the woman."

According to Welsh, no injuries were reported and no arrests have been made at this time. Welsh said there is currently no evidence of an on-going threat to the public.
