GREAT FALLS, MT — A Browning man has been sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for trafficking methamphetamine on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, followed by five years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich announced today.

Robbie Wayne Racine, 31, pleaded guilty in January to possession with intent to distribute meth. Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided over the case.

According to court documents, Racine was involved in multiple incidents in the spring of 2023 where he was stopped in vehicles containing meth and other evidence of drug distribution. In April 2023, Racine and his co-defendant were arrested during a traffic stop. Over 15 grams of meth were found on the co-defendant during booking, and a search of the vehicle revealed distribution materials, including baggies and a digital scale. In May 2023, Racine was again stopped and arrested. During this stop, law enforcement found a scale in his pocket and over 170 grams of meth in a concealed safe.

The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, with investigations conducted by Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services, the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Glacier County Sheriff’s Office.
