Cops and Courts

A 34-year-old woman is in jail on a felony charge of attempted murder after she allegedly stabbed a man in the chest Tuesday night at the Palace Apartments on West Broadway.

Colanda L. Lint faces a single count of attempted deliberate homicide and remains jailed in Missoula. The 42-year-old victim is hospitalized with serious injuries that do not appear to be life threatening, according to police.

“There was a disturbance between a man and a woman and it basically just ended up escalating into a stabbing,” said Missoula Police Sgt. Bob Bouchee. “The female stabbed the male in the chest area.”

Bouchee said police received the emergency call at around 8:45 p.m. When they arrived, the victim and suspect were the only people in the apartment. There is no evidence to suggest that anyone else was involved, he said.

Lint will appear on the felony charge this afternoon in Missoula County Justice Court.
