GREAT FALLS, Montana – A Browning woman has been sentenced to 8 years in federal prison for her role in a deadly argument that turned fatal.
According to court documents, Danielle Marie Marceau, also known as Danielle Marie Comesatnight, 35, of Browning, was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison for fatally stabbing another individual during an argument.
The incident occurred in May 2020, when Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services responded to Marceau’s residence in Browning, on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, to conduct a welfare check on the victim. Officers found the victim’s body in the residence and determined the last time the victim had been seen alive was late on May 30, 2020, with Marceau. Both were intoxicated and had been arguing.
Marceau admitted to killing the victim and that she had used a knife to stab the victim during an argument. In the days following the incident, Marceau told multiple family members they had been in a fight and that she stabbed the victim.
Marceau previously pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. The defendant was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $11,735.90 in restitution.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kalah A. Paisley prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services, and Great Falls Police Department.
