MISSOULA – A Bozeman man who admitted to drug trafficking after an officer found methamphetamine and heroin in his vehicle during a traffic stop was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Leif M. Johnson said.
Rick Ray Garcia, 37, pleaded guilty on Feb. 12 to possession with intent to distribute meth.
U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen presided. Garcia was detained.
The government alleged in court records that on Dec. 18, 2019, a Bozeman law enforcement officer conducted a traffic stop with Garcia in Gallatin County and arrested Garcia on an outstanding warrant. During a subsequent search of Garcia and his vehicle, law enforcement found about 9 grams of heroin, about 29 grams of meth and a loaded 9mm handgun. Garcia was known to law enforcement for distributing drugs.
