The suspect accused of killing four people in Anaconda last month has been charged with four felony counts of deliberate homicide.
The Anaconda-Deer Lodge county attorney’s office charged Michael Paul Brown on Friday. Each charge carries a minimum 10 year prison sentence.
Brown was arrested after a weeklong search, for allegedly opening fire in The Owl Bar in Anaconda on August 1. The shooting left three patrons and a bartender dead.
All documents in Brown’s cases were previously sealed at the request of County Attorney Morgan Smith. She wrote that releasing the documents amid robust media coverage could unduly influence a jury trial. However, Smith petitioned late last week to unseal some of the filings.
Brown is set to appear in court Wednesday morning for a preliminary hearing.
