Glen Roy Wayt, Methamphetamine Distribution, Wyoming 2017

Glen Roy Wayt, a 66-year-old Casper, Wyoming resident, was sentenced to 120 months in prison for his role in distributing methamphetamine in the Casper area. Wayt, who was determined to be a repeat offender, was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and attempted possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams.

According to court documents, Wayt was distributing methamphetamine out of his maintenance shop in Bar Nunn, Wyoming. The investigation, which began in March 2017, revealed that Wayt was obtaining multiple pounds of methamphetamine from two to three different individuals whose sources of supply came from California and Arizona. The amount of methamphetamine obtained and distributed by Wayt totaled more than 20 pounds.

Wayt was arrested on March 23, 2017, and approximately $18,000 in cash was seized from the truck he was driving at the time of his arrest. After his arrest, Wayt was released from custody pending trial, but he absconded from pretrial supervision and fled the state.

Wayt had previously been convicted of similar conduct in the year 2000 and was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison at that time. The investigation into Wayt’s activities was a collaborative effort involving the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation Casper Office, the Casper Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and multiple coordinating partners in California and Arizona.

The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Michael A. Blonigen and Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie A. Hambrick. Acting United States Attorney Bob Murray praised the strong law enforcement partnerships that led to the dismantlement of Wayt’s methamphetamine ring, saying, ‘Repeat offenders are no contest for strong law enforcement partnerships which led to the dismantlement of this once-thriving methamphetamine ring. This effort underscores the power of combined forces across multiple borders.’

Wayt’s sentence includes 120 months of imprisonment, followed by 60 months of supervised release on both counts, to run concurrently. He was also ordered to pay $400 in restitution and a $200 special assessment fee.

Glen Roy Wayt, 66, of Casper, Wyoming, was sentenced by Federal District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson on both counts of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and attempted possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams. The date of sentencing was not provided in the source material.
