A Libby convict with a lengthy record was sentenced Monday to serve time in the Montana State Prison in Lincoln County District Court.

Erik Lynn McQueen, 41, who has multiple prior convictions for assault, pleaded guilty in May to partner or family member assault, third offense. The charge resulted from an incident in November 2024 when he punched his girlfriend in the face in November.
