Daugherty Sentenced In District Court
Several hearings, including sentencings, were conducted in Roosevelt County District Court on Wednesday, March 11, in front of District Judge Benjamin Fosland.
Jason Daugherty was sentenced for violating the terms of his probation. In one case, Daugherty was originally sentenced back in February 2010, for unlawful clandestine laboratory with 500 feet of a residence. For this charge, Judge Cybulski sentenced Daugherty to the Montana Department of Corrections for a period of 20 years, with 15 years suspended. This 20year sentence will discharge on Dec. 19, 2029.
On Jan. 27, 2016, Daugherty was sentenced in another case for attempted assault on a peace officer. For this charge, Cybulski sentenced him to the Montana Department of Corrections for 10 years, with five years suspended. The five-year suspended portion of sentence ran consecutively to DC-432009-13, meaning that this five-year suspended portion of the sentence would not start until he completed his DC-43-2009-13 sentence on Dec. 19, 2029. This consecutive portion of sentence in DC-43-2015-7 gave Daugherty a discharge date of Dec. 18, 2034.
Roosevelt County Attorney Thomas Bleicher said he reached an agreement with Daugherty’s defense counsel, where Bleicher would move to dismiss Dougherty’s newest case, DC-43-2025-15, if he agreed to serve out the rest of his time remaining on probation at the Montana State Prison.
Judge Fosland went along with the agreement and sentenced Daugherty to the Montana State Prison until Dec. 18, 2034. None of this time at MSP is suspended, it is a straight commitment until December of 2034. Daugherty has six felony convictions and has been in the custody of the Montana Department of Corrections since 1999.
Bleicher said these revocations would not have been possible without the Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office, Fort Peck Tribal Police and Probation Officer Bruce Barstad. “As the Roosevelt County Attorney, I will always make sure that people who are on probation are held accountable. If a probationer cannot follow the conditions of their probation, I will file a revocation and fight to hold them accountable to their court sentence,” Bleicher said.
