Wolf Point, Montana Man Dillon Wetsit Sentenced to 10 Years and 10 Months for Beating a Man to Death on the Fort Peck Reservation
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Montana announced that Dillon Demery Wetsit, 38, of Wolf Point, in Roosevelt County, Montana, was sentenced on Wednesday to 10 years and 10 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for his role in beating a man to death. Wetsit pleaded guilty in June 2026 to voluntary manslaughter.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided. U.S. Attorney Scott Twito announced the sentence.
The government alleged in court documents that Wetsit was part of a group that beat a man to death in an abandoned house on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. The victim was found dead on February 26, 2025, on the second floor of a house in Wolf Point, described by area residents as a local flop house where people occasionally went to drink and sleep.
Investigators found that Wetsit and others, after a night of drinking, had gone into the house in the early morning hours of February 26 and found the victim asleep on the second floor. With Wetsit were Calvin Florin Lester, 37, and Abrianne Lillian Deserly, 26.
The assault happened after an argument broke out, and Wetsit, along with Lester and Deserly, began to hit the victim. As the conflict escalated, the beating became more severe; at one point, the victim was placed in a chokehold while members of the group hit him. A medical examination showed the victim died from homicidal violence, with neck compression and blunt injuries to the head.
Lester was sentenced on September 3 to nearly 11 years in prison for his role in the man's death, and Deserly was sentenced on September 14 to 11 years and four months in prison. The U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuted the case, and the Fort Peck Tribes Criminal Investigation division and the FBI conducted the investigation.
