Brandie Rae Fulbright, Methamphetamine Distribution Resulting in Death, Montana 2020

Great Falls, Montana – A Great Falls woman was sentenced to 12 years in prison for distributing methamphetamine and fentanyl that led to the death of a man.

Brandie Rae Fulbright, 40, pleaded guilty in January to distribution of controlled substances resulting in death.

On August 23, 2020, Great Falls police officers were dispatched to a camper trailer where they found a man, identified as Kent Fox’s friend, deceased on a bed. Co-defendant Kent Fox was on the scene.

The government alleged that Fulbright, with Fox’s assistance, conducted a drug deal with the man two days earlier. As part of the deal, the man traded a stolen AR-15 semiautomatic rifle for meth and fentanyl from Fulbright. Fulbright then gave the rifle to Fox, and Fox returned the man to his camper. A short time later, the man died from an overdose of meth and fentanyl that Fulbright had provided.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a U.S. Department of Justice initiative to reduce violent crime. Through PSN, federal, tribal, state and local law enforcement partners in Montana focus on violent crime driven by methamphetamine trafficking, armed robbers, firearms offenses and violent offenders with outstanding warrants.

Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided and ordered $815 restitution. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey K. Starnes prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the FBI and Great Falls Police Department.

Fulbright’s co-defendant, Kent Fox, was previously sentenced to 14 years in prison for his conviction in the case.
