The following is a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Montana:
GREAT FALLS — A Wolf Point woman who admitted to selling methamphetamine on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation was sentenced on Aug. 26 to three years and six months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said today.
The defendant, Talayne Killeen Demarrias, 31, pleaded guilty in April to possession with intent to distribute meth.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided.
The government alleged in court documents that Demarrias worked as an intermediary for a meth distributor in Wolf Point. Between January and March of 2023, Demarrias was distributing meth, and on Feb. 7, 2023, a confidential source purchased approximately 76 grams of meth from Demarrias in a monitored purchase.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case. The Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Montana Highway Patrol, Montana Division of Criminal Investigation, Valley County Sheriff’s Office and Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation.
