GREAT FALLS, Mont. (NMB) – On Tuesday morning, a woman reached a plea deal in US District Court in Great Falls after being charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering involving the distribution of oxycodone in Havre and Hill County. As part of a plea deal, Amber Victoria Standingrock pleaded guilty to the money laundering charge, while two counts of financial transactions to conceal unlawful activity were dropped.
Court documents say that between August 2017 and July 2018, Devon Draper traveled between Los Angeles and Montana several times to distribute oxycodone on the Rocky Boy’s Reservation. During the investigation, agents determined that Standingrock conducted financial transactions at the Wal-Mart in Havre on behalf of Draper.
Video from the store showed Standingrock conducting transactions on May 4th and on June 17th in 2018. In total, she deposited over $3,500 into different accounts belonging to Draper.
Standingrock’s sentencing is set for November 27th.
