BILLINGS – A man who lived for a time in Roberts has been found guilty of three counts of kidnapping and one count of making an interstate threat.

Following a three-day trial, a federal jury in Billings on Wednesday found Adolfo Vargas-Lepe guilty of two counts of kidnapping two minors, one count of kidnapping an adult, and making an interstate threat. He was acquitted of a separate count of kidnapping an adult and possession of a firearm in furtherance of his drug trafficking.
