District Judge William W. Mercer presided.The government alleged in court documents that Wolff was selling meth in the Billings area.The case began in spring 2025 when the Eastern Montana High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force and the Billings Police Department Street Crimes Unit learned that Wolff was possibly involved in drug trafficking. Billings police pulled over Wolff on May 5, 2025, after he made an illegal U-turn and initially refused to stop. Officers questioned Wolff and he admitted to selling meth.
They searched his truck and found just under a pound of meth, a stolen 9mm Glock pistol, a Smith & Wesson .380 caliber pistol and $14,525 in cash, suspected to be proceeds from drug sales. Nearly three weeks later, on May 22, 2025, Task Force agents watched Wolff sell drugs to a known drug addict. At this point, Wolff had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and so Task Force agents stopped and arrested him. In his truck, law enforcement found another pound of meth, a stolen 9mm Taurus pistol, a .223 caliber AR pistol, cash, and drug paraphernalia.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Colin Rubich prosecuted the case. The Eastern Montana High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force and Billings Police Department conducted the investigation.
