Kasey Ann Willard, a 52-year-old woman from Washington, was busted for funneling massive amounts of meth into Montana. The meth trafficker pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine after a sting operation caught her with a large haul. Willard was pulled over in Saltese, Montana, on October 18, 2025, with eight pounds of meth at her feet. This wasn’t her first rodeo – she had previously been convicted of distributing meth in Washington back in 2009.
Law enforcement had been tracking Willard’s movements, and an informant had arranged to buy meth from her. The informant successfully purchased two pounds of meth, and then asked to buy more. Willard made the sale and traveled from Washington to Montana to deliver the goods, unaware that she was being watched. When she was pulled over, the meth was found in a bag at her feet, leading to her arrest and subsequent guilty plea.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case, with the Missoula Drug Task Force and the DEA conducting the investigation. Willard’s sentencing was handed down by U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen, who gave her 10 years in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release.
The case highlights the ongoing issue of meth trafficking in Montana, with outsiders like Willard bringing large quantities of the drug into the state. The sentence handed down to Willard serves as a warning to others who would seek to follow in her footsteps.
