Jeffery Raymond Russell (Jeff Russell) is a convicted felon(1), who admitted in public court that he sold his prescription drugs(2), admitted in public court that he committed theft(3), and for possible perjury while under oath(4). Mr. Russell has not been charged with any of these crimes.

In the state case against Chelsea Chafee(5), Mr. Russell admitted in open public court that he sold his prescription drugs for money(2), admitted in open public court that he committed theft(3), and he possibly gave false testimony that may have been in direct conflict of Officer Gordon Schmill of Missoula County Sheriffs Department(4).

In that trial, Ms. Chafee was found guilty. Ms. Chafee appealed her conviction and won her appeal with the Montana State Supreme Court and was remanded for a new trial(6). After he became a state witness for Ms. Chafee’s trial, Mr. Russell has committed 5 probation violations and has suffered no consequences for his actions(7).

How about we prosecute Mr. Russell for his own admission to illegally selling his prescription drugs and for his own admission to committing theft. Please help us ask the Missoula County Attorneys Office to take action against Jeffery Raymond Russell for his admitted crimes.

According to Mr. Russell(8), he currently is employed by Garden City Janitorial(9) of Missoula, Montana.
