The Great Falls Police Department said in a news release on Thursday, February 20, 2025, that a man was taken into custody after reportedly causing a disturbance inside Holiday Village Mall.
The agency said that dispatchers received a call from the Mall Security Officer regarding the disturbance at about 10:35 a.m.

The Mall Security Officer said a man was causing a "physical disturbance" and not complying with the Security Officer's requests for him to leave.
Officers arrived and the man reportedly became "very combative," according to the GFPD, causing several more (uniformed and plain-clothes) officers to respond.
