A Thurston County judge set bail at $2,500 for Sharon D. Hallman, 68, who is suspected of pointing a replica shotgun at firefighters Wednesday at her south Thurston County home.
Hallman appeared Thursday before Superior Court Judge James Dixon, who found probable cause for one count of third-degree assault. Dixon said firefighters shouldn’t respond to a home to help someone, then be met by someone holding what looks like a shotgun.
During the hearing, both Deputy Prosecutor Brandi Archer and Public Defender Eric Pilon asked that Hallmon undergo a mental health evaluation. Hallman cried throughout much of her court appearance, and at one point shouted, “Who’s the victim?”
“I believe that jail might not be the appropriate place for Miss Hallman,” Pilon said.
