A Flathead Valley man allegedly bit a deputy while trying to escape law enforcement personnel near Kalispell late last month.
Thirty-three-year-old Raymond Carl Tommy is facing a felony assault on a peace officer charge and a misdemeanor count of violation of an order of protection, first offense in Flathead County District Court, following the September twenty-fifth confrontation on Montana thirty-five.
Held in the county jail with a bail set at thirty thousand dollars, he is expected to appear before Judge Dan Wilson on November fifth for his arraignment.
Tommy's father summoned Flathead County Sheriff's Office deputies to his home at about eight O five PM, according to court documents.
The older man told authorities that his son, recently released from custody, had arrived at the house in violation of an order of protection.
While inside the home with the doors locked, Tommy's father said that he could hear his son trying to open the doors and windows, according to court documents.
Court documents said that when the escaped attempt proved futile, Tommy bit one of the deputies on the calf.
Tommy's prior criminal history includes a felony criminal endangerment conviction with findings of mental defects in twenty seventeen and a no contest plea to a misdemeanor charge of negligent endangerment in twenty twenty-three.
In the latter case, prosecutors accused Tommy of chasing another man around a Flathead Valley apartment complex with a knife.
Felony assault on a peace officer is punishable by between two and ten years behind bars and a fifty thousand dollar fine.
