Most Meth In Montana Comes From Mexico, Missoula Detective Says
Last week Montana’s Republican Sen. Steve Daines hosted a roundtable in Missoula to talk with police and prosecutors about the devastating toll methamphetamine is taking on western Montana. The event also offered a revealing look at the business end of the meth trade.
Local meth-cooking operations are generally an anomaly. Home brew labs are certainly dangerous and toxic, but account for a fraction of the meth supply on Montana’s streets.
“The vast majority of drugs into American and into Montana – especially meth – is coming from Mexico,” according to Missoula City Police Detective Guy Baker.
