Police reports

Tension over a woman

Tension between two men over a woman apparently was the basis of an incident Saturday that landed Michael Hawe, 29, in Butte in jail for two felony assault with a weapon charges. Police responded that evening to Galena and Main where Hawe, passing by in an SUV, is accused of pointing a pistol at two pedestrians. At least one of the pedestrians said he knows Hawe and that the alleged intimidation stems from a "battle over a female," police said. When officers stopped Hawe, he admitted he had a handgun but denied threatening the pedestrians.

Come out of the bathroom

On Friday, authorities arrested Amber Smith, who had been missing from the Women's Transitional Center in Butte since April 12. Officers knocked on the door of a room at the Motel 6 (formerly the Capri), 220 N. Wyoming St., and a man answered. He told police Smith was not there, but when officers called for Smith to come out of the bathroom, she did. She was arrested for felony escape and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. She will be transported to the women's prison in Billings where she faces felony escape charges in Yellowstone County District Court.
