The United States Attorney’s Office announced that during a federal court session in Great Falls, on May 16, 2013, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Strong, Joscayne Denny, a 33-year-old resident of Box Elder, pled guilty to distribution of a controlled substance. Sentencing has been set for August 16, 2013. He is currently detained.
In an offer of proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danna R. Jackson, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On March 30, 2012, Denny knowingly gave two girls methamphetamine. Both girls smoked the methamphetamine out of a broken lightbulb. One girl was taken to the Northern Montana Hospital shortly after she ingested the methamphetamine. A toxicology report showed amphetamine was in her system.
Denny faces possible penalties of 20 years in prison, a $1,000,000 fine, and three years’ supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
