Tillie Dawn Dubray, Morphine Distribution, South Dakota 2013

Martin Woman Sentenced for Morphine Distribution

A 43-year-old woman from Martin, South Dakota, has been sentenced for her role in distributing morphine in the area.

Tillie Dawn Dubray was sentenced to 1 year of probation, along with a $250 fine and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund on April 29, 2013, by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.

The charges stem from an incident on January 31, 2012, in which Dubray illegally distributed morphine in Martin, South Dakota. She pleaded guilty to the charge on November 29, 2012.

The investigation into Dubray’s activities was a joint effort, involving the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Justice Services, the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety, the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Ted L. McBride prosecuted the case, bringing Dubray to justice for her role in distributing the controlled substance.

Although the sentence handed down may seem lenient to some, it serves as a reminder that the distribution of controlled substances has serious consequences. The work of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors like McBride is crucial in keeping communities safe from the dangers of substance abuse.

As the situation in Martin, South Dakota, demonstrates, the fight against drug trafficking is ongoing and requires the continued efforts of law enforcement and the community at large.
