Sex offender nabbed in Whitefish

Last week, the Whitefish Police Department arrested Michele Evonne Malady, age 41, of Great Falls on a $75,000 warrant issued by Cascade County for sexual intercourse without consent.

Malady was apprehended after the Great Falls Police Department developed information that she was en route to Whitefish. According to Great Falls Police, Malady was armed with a shotgun and was possibly suicidal. Information indicated that she was en route to a friend's house in Whitefish.

Whitefish Police notified Alert Security, which provides security services at Iron Horse. When her vehicle was observed by a security guard, the guard contacted police, who located Malady at the Iron Horse Club House and arrested Malady without incident.

Malady, a school teacher, is accused of having sexual intercourse with a minor. She is currently being held in the Whitefish City Jail awaiting extradition to Great Falls.
