POLSON — We are learning new information about a deadly shooting that happened in Polson earlier this month.
Ashley Whitmore, 33, is facing one count of deliberate homicide with a deadly weapon in the death of 39-year-old Adam Mowatt.
According to charging documents, Whitmore was staying at a camper along 5th Street East on Nov. 6.
A witness said he woke up to a loud noise and found Whitmore holding a rifle and pointing it at the camper door.
The witness saw Mowatt on the ground outside and called 9-1-1.
Mowatt was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead, while Whitmore was taken into custody.
Whitmore later told a friend that Mowatt had assaulted her and was looking for her the next morning.
Whitmore's bond is set at $1 million and she is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday morning.
