A Billings woman has been sentenced to 110 months in prison for her role in distributing methamphetamine in the Billings area.
On March 5, 2014, Patricia Ann Halcomb-Segna, 44, of Billings, Montana, was sentenced to a term of prison, special assessment, restitution, and supervised release in U.S. District Court in Billings.
According to an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan McCarthy, in July 2012, members of the Eastern Montana HIDTA were investigating Halcomb-Segna for the sale of methamphetamine in the Billings area.
After a search warrant was conducted at her residence, Halcomb-Segna told law enforcement that she first began obtaining methamphetamine from R.F. in April 2011. She would receive over one ounce a week from R.F. In May 2011, she also transported methamphetamine to Cut Bank, Montana for D.T. She made four or five trips to Cut Bank.
In January 2012, she began obtaining approximately an eighth of an ounce of methamphetamine on ten different occasions from K.H. In May or June 2011, the defendant began obtaining larger quantities – an eighth to a quarter ounce of methamphetamine – from J.W. and T.E.
The defendant estimated that she distributed at least a quarter ounce of methamphetamine each week for the two months prior to July 2012. She also stated that prior to that time and starting in 2011, she distributed smaller quantities of methamphetamine.
Halcomb-Segna was sentenced to 110 months in prison, a $100 special assessment, and 5 years of supervised release. The court also ordered that she pay no restitution. The investigation was conducted by the Eastern Montana HIDTA.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan McCarthy.
