Laramie Meth Trafficker Sentenced

Ory J. Johnson, 36, of Laramie, Wyoming, has been brought to justice for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking ring. Johnson was sentenced to 60 months imprisonment, to be followed by five years supervised release, for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute at least 894 grams of methamphetamine.

Johnson’s arrest was a result of a joint investigation between the Albany County Sheriff’s Office and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. The case highlights the ongoing struggle against methamphetamine trafficking in the region.

Johnson was also ordered to pay a $250.00 fine and a $100.00 special assessment as part of his sentence. The community can rest assured that those responsible for peddling this destructive substance will be held accountable.

Meanwhile, a separate case in the same court saw Nadel and Gussman Rockies, L.L.C., a company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but doing business in Wyoming, sentenced for negligent discharge of oil into the waters of the United States. The company was ordered to pay a fine of $357,500.00, restitution of $430,500.00, $212,000.00 for community services, and a $125.00 special assessment.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The sentence serves as a reminder that companies must prioritize environmental responsibility and adhere to federal regulations.

Johnson’s sentencing is a significant blow to the methamphetamine trade in the region. The Albany County Sheriff’s Office and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation are to be commended for their tireless efforts in bringing this case to justice.
