Great Falls Police made two noticeable arrests on July 25.

At 1:19 p.m. July 25, police were dispatched to 510 1st Ave. N. for a disturbance.

According to the police report, Michael Payne was causing problems and is known to law enforcement.

Payne has alerts in the local system for being confrontational with law enforcement, carrying knives and machetes and for having mental health issues, according to the police report.

Upon arrival, police made contact with the mobile response team, a crisis intervention team, and located Payne at the Midtown Motel.

According to the mobile response team on scene, Payne had a falling out with “Angela” for whom he ran drugs after she cut him out.

One arrested in afternoon standoff

Payne had threatened to kill Angela, produced a large straight blade knife, made comments and walked toward the hotel where Angela was staying, according to the police report.

Two members of the mobile response team told law enforcement on scene that it was their professional opinion that Payne was homicidal.

Police detained Payne and there were two large straight blade knives on a trash can near where he was sitting, according to the police report.

Police located Angela who said Payne was coming off drugs and was mentally unstable. She told police she normally helps Payne but that he wants more money daily and that he had threatened to harm her, according to the police report.

According to witnesses, Payne had twice threatened to kill Angela during the incident.

County Attorney Josh Racki said officials didn’t look much into Payne’s claim of Angela being a drug dealer as he’s an unreliable reporter.

Payne was charged with a felony count of attempted assault with a weapon and the prosecutors requested a $50,000 bond with GPS monitoring.

Payne has a history of drug and traffic offenses and prosecutors said in their charging documents they were concerned he would try to harm the victim if released.
