Lindsay Ann Rumph, a 34-year-old Missoula woman, was sentenced to 70 months in prison for possessing methamphetamine and fentanyl pills, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.
Rumph was driving her vehicle in Missoula County on February 4, 2023, when she was stopped by law enforcement. A subsequent search of the vehicle, pursuant to a Montana State search warrant, resulted in the recovery of methamphetamine, fentanyl pills, various drug paraphernalia, a firearm, and $279 in U.S. Currency.
According to court documents, Rumph admitted during an interview after the traffic stop that drugs would be found in both the vehicle and on her person. In March of 2023, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Western Laboratory completed an analysis on the methamphetamine and determined it was more than 50 grams of actual methamphetamine.
Rumph pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute controlled substances in April 2023. U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy sentenced Rumph to 70 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office credited the Montana Regional Violent Crime Task Force for their investigation into Rumph’s activities. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara Elliott prosecuted the case.
Lindsay Ann Rumph’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking. As our community works to combat these issues, it is essential that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
