A 36-year-old man from Jackson, Wyoming, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in a methamphetamine distribution ring.
Giovanny J. Hernandez, 36, of Jackson, Wyoming, was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment with one year of supervised release to follow for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
According to court documents, in March 2025, law enforcement began investigating Samuel Pratts and Giovanny Hernandez for distributing controlled substances in Teton and Sublette Counties.
In April 2025, both men were arrested on state drug charges after authorities discovered more than 300 grams of methamphetamine in Pratts’ vehicle and on his person.
The pair also traveled to Colorado in a rental vehicle obtained through Hernandez’s airport job to purchase a pound of methamphetamine.
The Drug Enforcement Administration, Teton County Sheriff’s Office, and Jackson Police Department investigated the crime.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Paige Hammer prosecuted the case.
Hernandez was charged on August 19, 2025, and pleaded guilty on January 8, 2026.
U.S. District Court Judge Scott W. Skavdahl imposed the sentence on May 6 in Casper.
