According to this report from The Billings Gazette, an unnamed, Montana bondsman was assaulted with a pickax while questioning an individual about a bond fugitive. No one was hurt in the incident.
According to the report, Peter Dolan, 54, was arrested Tuesday when deputies responded to a disturbance at a residence. When they arrived, a man who identified himself as a bail bondsman said he was at the residence looking to arrest a man who had violated a bond agreement. The bondsman said he approached Dolan and asked if he knew where to find his client. The bondsman said Dolan grabbed a pickax and swung it at him. The bondsman said he took out pepper spray he carries with him and threatened Dolan with the chemical if he did not put down the ax. Dolan put down the ax and the bondsman called law enforcement.
Dolan was charged with assault with a weapon and held on $10,000 bond.
