Bozeman, MT – According to the police report, the officer pulled over a car for a standard traffic violation. The vehicle turned into an alley and stopped. The Bozeman Police Department officer recognized the passenger as an individual with outstanding warrant and had previous law enforcement contacts.
The passenger exited the vehicle and seemed to stash something under the seat. He was placed into custody and his probation officer was contacted to search the car. Over nine grams of methamphetamine in individual baggies, a digital scale, and a glass pipe were discovered.
The suspect was arrested and charged with criminal possession of dangerous drugs with intent to distribute.
According to the statistics, Bozeman was recently recognized for the lowest crime rate in Montana when compared to other cities similar in size according to the Montana Board of Crime Control.
The prices for meth have doubled due to restricted supply chains and a rise in demand. This low supply and high demand has triggered more violence when it comes to distribution.
