Wolf Point woman sentenced to over 4 years in prison for trafficking meth from Billings motel

A Wolf Point woman who was dealing meth out of a Billings motel room was sentenced Tuesday to four years and eight months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Mark Steger Smith said.

Destinee Fate Rowe, 27, pleaded guilty in January 2026 to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine. 

U.S. District Judge William W. Mercer presided.

The government alleged in court documents that Rowe, while on probation with the state of Montana, was dealing methamphetamine in Billings. An informant told law enforcement Rowe was operating out of a room at the Vegas Hotel, which law enforcement then searched and found an ounce and a half of meth. About a week later, investigators received another tip that Rowe was now dealing meth out of the Econo Lodge in Billings. A search of the room and her vehicle turned up another ounce and a half of meth, which Rowe acknowledged she was selling. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Godfrey prosecuted the case. The ATF and Billings Police Department conducted the investigation.
