Suspended Sentence in Uptown Butte Shootout | Bozeman News
Description
Tracy Cole Gollette, caught in a fiery Uptown Butte shootout last summer, walked away with a suspended five-year sentence after admitting to felony criminal endangerment — with two attempted murder charges dropped. The July 13, 2025, incident on West Mercury Street saw him allegedly fire at a vehicle, putting bystanders at risk — though no one was hurt. Prosecutors conceded his self-defense claim but stressed the danger he created. Gollette, who’s already served 351 days, sees this as a fresh start, and the judge agreed — offering him a chance to rebuild while keeping him under supervision. His sentence now runs alongside a prior drug conviction, and like others in the shootout, he’s getting a second chance — with strings attached.
