(Billings) A Lodge Grass woman convicted in a large-scale, multi-state meth trafficking operation she ran from her home on the Crow Indian Reservation was sentenced to 24 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.
The woman supplied drugs across the state and to four Montana Indian reservations.
The defendant, Frederica Lefthand, 52, pleaded guilty in August 2023 to possession with intent to distribute meth and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided.
