Billings男子跨州运送5磅冰毒被判12年：称花4,500美元从 Phoenix 购入
美国司法部蒙大拿区联邦检察官办公室宣布，Billings 男子 Jason Daniel Schauer（45岁）11月5日被判12年联邦监禁，刑满后另须接受5年监督释放。联邦检察官 Scott Twito 公布了判决，案件由联邦地区法官 William W. Mercer 主审。
Schauer 已于2026年6月就持有并意图分发冰毒罪名认罪。
政府在法庭文件中指称，2025年7月3日，Schauer 与一名同伴把冰毒从亚利桑那州运往蒙大拿州，途经 Livingston 郊外时被拦停。此前，一名蒙大拿州公路巡警目睹两人高速冲过一处加油站停车场。
巡警在车内看到吸毒用具后起疑，取得搜查令后搜查车辆，在后座下方发现5包用玻璃纸包裹的束状物，总重约5磅；缉毒局（DEA）检测确认是2,202克冰毒。Schauer 向执法人员供称，这批冰毒是他花4,500美元在 Phoenix 从与贩毒集团有关联的人手中买入的。

Billings Man Sentenced to 12 Years for Trafficking Meth; Five Pounds Found Hidden in Car
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Montana announced that Jason Daniel Schauer, 45, of Billings, was sentenced on November 5 to 12 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. U.S. Attorney Scott Twito announced the sentence, and U.S. District Judge William W. Mercer presided.
Schauer pleaded guilty in June 2026 to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
The government alleged in court documents that, on July 3, 2025, Schauer and a companion were moving methamphetamine from Arizona to Montana when they were pulled over outside Livingston. A Montana Highway Patrol trooper had watched the pair tear through a gas station parking lot at a high rate of speed.
Troopers grew suspicious that Schauer might be trafficking drugs after seeing drug paraphernalia in the car. They obtained a search warrant and, searching the vehicle, found five cellophane-wrapped bundles under the rear seat of the car, weighing roughly five pounds in total. Testing by the Drug Enforcement Administration later determined it was 2,202 grams of methamphetamine. Schauer told law enforcement he had paid $4,500 for the meth and purchased it in Phoenix from cartel-associated individuals.
The U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuted the case. The Montana Highway Patrol, the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation and the DEA conducted the investigation. The case is part of the Justice Department's Project Safe Neighborhoods program and Operation Take Back America. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Montana)
