Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Great Falls on June 24, 2008, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon, LANGLEY WEASELHEAD, a resident of Browning, was arraigned, pled guilty, and was sentenced on one misdemeanor charge of criminal contempt:
WEASELHEAD was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 30 days (time served);
- Special Assessment: $10;
- Probation: 6 months (unsupervised).
The government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On May 29, 2008, WEASELHEAD was personally served with a trial subpoena to testify in the criminal matter, United States v. Theron DeRoche. The DeRoche trial began on June 3, 2008, in Great Falls, Montana. Despite prior arrangements for transportation, lodging and child care having been made by the United States to accommodate WEASELHEAD, WEASELHEAD failed to appear as required by the subpoena. After WEASELHEAD failed to appear as required by the subpoena, the Court granted DeRoche's motion for a judgment of acquittal. The United States requested a bench warrant for WEASELHEAD's arrest, which the Court granted.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Vince Carroll prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Browning.
