MISSOULA, Mont. – A Kalispell woman who admitted bringing methamphetamine from Washington to distribute in Montana has been sentenced to one year and one day in prison and five years of supervised release, according to U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme.

Carly Deann Halcro, 36, pleaded guilty in November to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

According to court records, law enforcement received information in April 2018 that Halcro was traveling to Washington to get multiple pounds of meth for redistribution. In June 2018, Halcro traveled to Spokane, where law enforcement got a search warrant for her vehicle. After conducting a traffic stop when she returned to Montana, they found about one pound of pure meth in the vehicle. One pound of meth is equivalent to about 3,624 doses.

Halcro admitted in an interview that she had been receiving pound quantities of meth from a source of supply.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Cyndee Peterson prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a U.S. Department of Justice initiative to reduce violent crime. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, violent crime in Montana increased by 36% from 2013 to 2018. Through PSN, federal, tribal, state and local law enforcement partners in Montana focus on violent crime driven by methamphetamine trafficking, armed robbers, firearms offenses and violent offenders with outstanding warrants.

U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided over the case.

With the rise of methamphetamine trafficking in Montana, law enforcement is working tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice. Halcro’s sentence serves as a reminder of the severe consequences for those involved in this deadly trade.
