Brice Judsen Bailey, Methamphetamine Distribution, Montana 2024

BILLINGS, Montana – In a shocking case of methamphetamine distribution, a Billings man, Brice Judsen Bailey, 33, has been sentenced to 94 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release. The sentencing took place on an undisclosed date in 2024, according to a recent press release.

Bailey pleaded guilty in December 2024 to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The crime was committed between September 2023 and January 2024, as part of a larger drug distribution network in Billings. The group, consisting of approximately seven defendants, received methamphetamine from a drug trafficking organization in Washington state and funneled pounds of methamphetamine into the Billings area.

Bailey's role in the group was significant, as he distributed between a quarter-pound and a half-pound of methamphetamine each day. He also arranged two controlled purchases totaling over one pound of methamphetamine. Not only was Bailey a significant dealer of methamphetamine, but he also provided several firearms to one of his co-defendants in exchange for meth.

The U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuted the case, while the investigation was conducted by the DEA. This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence, making our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

Bailey's sentencing is a significant blow to the methamphetamine distribution network in Billings. The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to combating the illicit drug trade and keeping our communities safe.
