Great Falls Man Sentenced to 43 Months for Methamphetamine Trafficking

GREAT FALLS – A Great Falls man who distributed methamphetamine has been sentenced to 43 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Tim Racicot said.

Nicholas Charles Williams, 46, pleaded guilty in December 2025 to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided over the sentencing hearing.

The investigation into Williams’ activities was part of a larger probe into a group of individuals suspected of distributing methamphetamine in and around Great Falls. Law enforcement officers conducted three controlled purchases of methamphetamine from Williams using a confidential informant, and each substance was sent to the DEA Laboratory for testing.

The results confirmed that each substance was methamphetamine. On July 9, 2024, officers interviewed Williams and he admitted to selling methamphetamine between 2021 and late June 2024.

This prosecution is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative, which is a whole-of-government partnership dedicated to eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zeno Baucus and Jeff Starnes prosecuted the case, with the Russell Country Drug Task Force and DEA conducting the investigation as part of the HSTF.
