GLASGOW, Mont. - The Valley County Sheriff's Office issued a public service announcement on Tuesday after a woman was reportedly cornered by two men at a rest area at mile marker 527 on US Highway 2. The woman said after she displayed a weapon, the men ran off. 

"As [the woman] was coming out of the facilities, she was cornered by two men who were asking her for money," VCSO wrote. "She stated after she told the men she didn't have any money she felt they were not letting her get by them. She pulled her weapon out at which time the men ran away from her." 

The incident reportedly took place between 12:30 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. on May 4. 

The van driven by the two men was described as being two-tone dark blue and blue, older, dirty and "appeared to be in bad shape." 

VCSO said neither men had facial hair or wore glasses. One was around six feet tall with long black hair, the other "well over" six feet tall with long brown hair tied back in a ponytail. 

Anyone who sees the van described or the men in question are urged not to approach them and call 911.
