Kimber Jac Marston, Methamphetamine Trafficking, Idaho 2020

A Boise man was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute over 50 grams of methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis announced today.

Kimber Jac Marston, 44, of Boise, was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 13 years in federal prison for the crime, which he pleaded guilty to on July 14, 2020.

U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Marston to pay a $1,000 fine and serve five years of supervised release following his prison sentence.

According to court records, while on parole for a state drug conviction, Marston's residence was searched by Idaho Department of Correction probation and parole officers.

During the search, Marston was found in possession of 323 grams of methamphetamine that he admitted he intended to distribute to others. A digital scale and plastic packaging materials commonly used to weigh and package methamphetamine for distribution were also found in Marston's possession.

Marston's criminal history includes five felony drug convictions, which makes his latest crime all the more egregious. The Boise Police Department and Idaho Department of Correction investigated the case, which was prosecuted by the Special Assistant U.S. Attorney hired by the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and the Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Board.

The Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Board is a collaboration of local law enforcement drug task forces and prosecuting agencies dedicated to addressing regional drug trafficking organizations that operate in Ada, Canyon, and Malheur County.
