Eight Defendants Sentenced in Gillette-Based Meth Conspiracy
“Methamphetamine continues to be Wyoming’s number one drug problem, acting Wyoming U.S. Attorney Bob Murray said.
The problem affects those who struggle with addiction, but also for their friends, families, and especially children living with a meth-addicted parent who are often neglected and subjected to dangerous, unpredictable conditions, Murray said. Our strategy is to reduce the availability of methamphetamine throughout Wyoming by using a prosecutor-led, multi-agency approach to combat drug trafficking, he said.
The defendants and their prison sentences are:
Raymond Arthur Carnahan 16 years, eight months.
Kelly Miles Finnessey 14 years.

The investigation in the case began around 2019 when the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) started to receive intelligence that Raymond Arthur Carnahan was allegedly distributing methamphetamine in the Gillette area.
“DCI Agents learned Carnahan’s source of supply was in either Colorado or Arizona,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming said in the release. “Based on this intelligence, agents determined Carnahan would travel to Denver, Colorado, or Phoenix, Arizona, to meet with his methamphetamine source. Carnahan would then bring the methamphetamine back to Gillette, Wyoming, for distribution.”
