A Wolf Point man was sentenced to prison for attempting to possess fentanyl for distribution.

In Great Falls Federal Court Thursday, January 5, 2023, Reum was sentenced to two years and three months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release.
Court documents allege Reum was responsible for bringing large quantities of fentanyl pills from Washington the Fort Peck Indian Reservation for distribution. He ordered fentanyl from a Washington supplier through the mail from a Washington supplier and distributed them for profit.
