Property Owner Encountered Suspected Anaconda Bar Shooter Day Before He Was Captured
Michael Paul Brown faces $2 million bail with strict conditions after fatally shooting four acquaintances with a rifle at the Owl Bar, authorities said.
- A $2 million bail was set for Michael Paul Brown during a Friday Zoom hearing, after law enforcement officials told the owner he did the right thing by delaying the call.
- On Friday, authorities captured Michael Paul Brown at this trailer after a weeklong manhunt, as law enforcement searched the area.
- On Monday, Brown appeared with two public defenders and told the judge he had no job or phone, with authorities alleging he was involved in the case.
- After the hearing, Deer Lodge County Judge Ken Walund described a host of bond conditions that would apply if Brown made bond, which seemed unlikely, and he will remain at the Butte-Silver Bow County Detention Center.
- Many remain cautious, saying they're still not quite relaxed, despite community relief over Brown's arrest, along Highway 1 and Stumptown Road.
