Montana seeking probationer, woman who may be in danger

MISSOULA — A state judge has issued a $500,000 warrant for the arrest of a 45-year-old probationer who is believed to have left northwestern Montana with a woman who may be in danger.

Marco Antonio Guzman was to appear Wednesday in District Court in Missoula for hearings in three felony cases, including one charging him with assaulting a Frenchtown woman.

District Judge Leslie Halligan issued the arrest warrant and the U.S. Marshal's Service issued an alert saying Guzman left the Libby area on July 9 with a woman named Sandra Carris, who was not considered a "willing participant" in the travel.

They were traveling in a white Dodge Ram pickup truck and towing a travel trailer, both with New Mexico license plates. Carris is from Mimbres, New Mexico.
