MISSOULA — This is an official press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)), published as received.
MISSOULA – A Missoula man who was a local supplier of methamphetamine and fentanyl was sentenced today to 15 years in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Mark Steger Smith said.
Brandon Gregory Genet, 30, pleaded guilty in March 2026 to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
U.S. District Judge William W. Mercer presided.
The government alleged in court documents that Genet was distributing methamphetamine in Missoula, supplying at least one dealer.
The case began on Dec. 10, 2025, when law enforcement used an informant to set up a buy from a suspected meth dealer at Franklin Park in Missoula. The suspect arrived in a vehicle driven by Genet, who sped away from the park when he spotted law enforcement. A tip to law enforcement the next day revealed that Genet was the suspect’s supplier and that he kept his stash in a safe at his home. Officers obtained a warrant and searched Genet’s safe, where they found approximately 96 grams of suspected fentanyl pills and 165 grams of methamphetamine. The DEA lab confirmed the substances were a fentanyl analog and methamphetamine.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case. The FBI's Montana Regional Violent Crime Task Force and DEA conducted the investigation.
