Jennifer Michelle Hall, Methamphetamine and Gun Charges, Montana 2025

Defendant Faces Prison Time for Methamphetamine and Gun Charges

BILLINGS – A Livingston woman who admitted to possessing methamphetamine and a firearm was sentenced today to 36 months in prison to be followed by 4 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.

Jennifer Michelle Hall, 44, pleaded guilty in January 2025 to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided over the case.

The government alleged in court documents that as part of a long investigation into drug distribution in Livingston, Montana law enforcement identified Hall as someone selling methamphetamine for more serious distributors in Livingston.

On December 3, 2021, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Hall’s residence in Livingston. She was present at the time. Law enforcement located methamphetamine in plastic jewelry bags, paraphernalia, 10 fentanyl pills, and a semi-automatic pistol with 6 rounds of ammunition.

Hall was interviewed and admitted possessing the methamphetamine and the firearm, but stated she was only a user of methamphetamine and was not selling.

Search warrants were obtained for Hall’s iPad and phone. There were text message exchanges between Hall and other individuals in 2021 showing she was both using and selling drugs.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Godfrey prosecuted the case. The investigation was conducted by the ATF and Park County Sheriff’s Office.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

This is not the first time the community has seen a case of this nature. The prevalence of methamphetamine and gun violence in the area is a growing concern and warrants further attention from law enforcement and community leaders.

Jennifer Michelle Hall’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in such activities and the importance of community involvement in reducing crime.
