Sun Surety Insurance Co. posted a $50,000 bond to secure the release of Philipsburg’s former mayor from Butte-Silver Bow Detention Center on Dec. 31 after the defendant’s release for a fourth or subsequent DUI charge was revoked on Nov. 27. An affidavit filed by Butte-Silver Bow Deputy County Attorney Kaitlyn Lamb on Nov. 12 states that around 5:35 a.m. on Oct. 13, Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Department Sgt. Chris Tierney responded to a dispatch report about a man who had followed a woman to her home in Butte from her workplace in Whitehall. Officers found Brett Alton Hamilton asleep in his car, parked in the woman’s driveway with his keys in the ignition. The affidavit alleges he stated he was waiting at “his girlfriend’s house” to avoid driving to Philipsburg for the night and that he admitted to drinking before driving from Whitehall to Butte, after which he was arrested.
