Great Falls man charged with parental interference and resisting arrest

GREAT FALLS — Collin R. Lee was arrested in Great Falls on Friday on pending charges of felony parental interference, obstructing a peace officer, and resisting arrest.

According to the Great Falls Police Department, Lee showed up at his ex-partner’s house wanting to see their child outside of his arranged time.

When officers arrived, Lee reportedly left to get a copy of the parenting plan.

Officers later found that Lee allegedly went to the daycare facility and picked up their 2-year-old child from the daycare.

Based on earlier threats and concerns for the child’s safety, officers responded to Lee’s residence on 6th Avenue North.

Officers initially made contact with Lee over the phone and Lee came outside to speak with the officers.

After some time, Lee reportedly ran inside the residence. Officers then followed inside over concern for the child’s safety.

The child was found inside sleeping and was later returned to the mother after conferring with the Department of Family Services.

We have not yet received a booking photo from the Cascade County Detention Center.
