MISSOULA—A Missoula man who admitted being a methamphetamine
dealer was sentenced today to three years in prison and five years of
supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Robert Matthew Wilson, 35, of Missoula, pleaded guilty in
September to conspiracy to distribute meth.
U.S. District Judge Donald M. Molloy presided.
In court documents filed by the prosecution, five
confidential informants told law enforcement officers about Wilson’s meth
dealing activities, including his distributing the drug to others and his
trading meth for various items. Wilson admitted to law enforcement that he was
a dealer and that his residence was a meth distribution center.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara Elliott prosecuted the case,
which was investigated by the FBI and the Montana Regional Violent Crime Task
Force.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), which
is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction
efforts. PSN is an evidence-based
program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad
spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent
crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address
them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most
violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry
programs for lasting reductions in crime.
