Jerri Rowher Mccubbins, Methamphetamine Conspiracy, Montana 2013

BUTTE, MONTANA - In a shocking turn of events, Jerri Rowher Mccubbins, a 63-year-old resident of Butte, was sentenced to 48 months in prison for her role in a massive methamphetamine conspiracy.

The United States Attorney's Office announced that Mccubbins was sentenced on November 8, 2013, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon.

Mccubbins was convicted of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, a crime that carries severe penalties. In addition to her prison sentence, Mccubbins was also ordered to pay a special assessment of $100 and serve 5 years of supervised release.

According to the indictment, Mccubbins and her co-conspirators possessed methamphetamine with the intent to distribute it in Butte and other places in Montana from approximately March 2012 until approximately July 2012. The methamphetamine was sourced from Las Vegas and distributed in the Butte area.

Mccubbins admitted to receiving 8 to 10 ounces of methamphetamine from her co-conspirators for further distribution in the Butte area. This admission was corroborated by other witnesses and evidence, including Money Gram records and a laboratory analysis that confirmed the presence of methamphetamine confiscated by law enforcement during their investigation.

The investigation was a cooperative effort between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security - Homeland Security Investigations, the Butte-Silverbow Police Department, and the Drug Enforcement Administration Lab.

As a result of her conviction, Mccubbins will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court, with the possibility of earning a sentence reduction for good behavior. However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.

Mccubbins' conviction and sentencing serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of law enforcement's efforts to combat this deadly drug.
