(Fremont County, WY) – The U.S. Department of Justice released sentencing information for recent cases in the state yesterday, October 2, and among the filings were two Fremont County residents; Amanda Rose Brown of Riverton, and Littlefawn Lebeau of Fort Washakie.
Brown, 40, was sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment with three years of supervised release for distribution of methamphetamine.
According to court documents, on Sept. 26, 2023, agents conducted a controlled buy of 3.5 grams of methamphetamine from Brown for $150 on the Wind River Reservation.
A review of Brown’s Facebook account showed she was contacted by multiple parties looking for “blues” (fentanyl) and either she had them or sought to get them; she also advised she had methamphetamine and could get “bud.”
She was indicted on May 16, pleaded guilty on July 1, and U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson imposed the sentence on Sept. 26, in Cheyenne. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation investigated the crime and Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy W. Gist prosecuted the case.
Lebeau, 41, was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison with three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court documents, on Dec. 23, 2023, law enforcement was called to Lander Sage West Hospital for a report of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The defendant denied she had shot herself in the foot at first because she knew she was a felon and illegally possessed the firearm, but later admitted to the accident.
She was indicted on Jan. 4, pleaded guilty on July 12, and U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson imposed the sentence on Sept. 25, in Cheyenne. This crime was investigated by the FBI and the case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Elmore.
