Michael Davis Bryant, Meth and Fentanyl Trafficking, Montana 2022

MISSOULA

A Washington man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl on the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Michael Davis Bryant, 48, of Spokane, Washington, pleaded guilty in July to possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.

According to court documents, the Northwest Drug Task Force was investigating meth and fentanyl distribution on the Flathead Reservation in 2021 and identified Bryant as a source of the drugs brought into Montana for distribution.

In January 2022, agents with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Drug Enforcement Administration conducted a controlled purchase in Spokane, Washington, of 1,000 fentanyl pills from Bryant.

Later that month, law enforcement tracked Bryant to the Flathead Reservation and discovered a large quantity of fentanyl pills he was trying to sell. Bryant fled when law enforcement attempted to contact him.

Officers searched Bryan’s car and located 5,636 fentanyl pills, a large quantity of meth, and several scales. Bryant was arrested the next day on an outstanding federal warrant.

U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided over the case. The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case, with assistance from the Northwest Drug Task Force, Flathead Tribal Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, BIA, and DEA.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence.
