(Rocky Boys) A Great Falls man who assaulted a woman and her child on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation was sentenced Wednesday to 2 and a half years in prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
37-year-old Lane Thomas Lamere, pleaded guilty in January 2025 to one count of strangulation and one count of felony child abuse.
The government alleged in court documents that on Friday, January 12, 2024, Lamere broke into the residence of Jane Doe 2, who was home with her three-year old daughter, Jane Doe 1.
Lamere dragged Jane Doe 2 to her back bedroom and choked her. Jane Doe 1 walked into the room while this was happening. When Lamere saw Jane Doe 1, he grabbed her head and put her into a headlock. Jane Doe 2 was able to get away, but Lamere would not let go of Jane Doe 1. When Jane Doe 2 could not get Lamere to let go of her daughter, she ran next door to get help from her neighbor, who called the police as they ran back to Jane Doe 2’s house.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided.
