Missoula man gets 4 ½ years in drug trafficking case

MISSOULA, Mont. — Acting U.S. Attorney Tim Racicot announced a Missoula man was sentenced for moving methamphetamine and fentanyl from Washington to Montana for distribution.

Nathanial John Shoen, 33, received 4 ½ years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty in January 2026 to one count of possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.

According to court documents, Shoen worked with Devon Bond and Joseph Cierley to transport the drugs to Missoula.

Investigators began watching the group in summer 2025 after an informant reported they were bringing back "Pounds of methamphetamine and ounces of fentanyl" from Washington, Racicot said in a release.

During a July 2025 traffic stop, officers found 896.9 grams of meth, 66.4 grams of fentanyl pills and a loaded .357 revolver in the vehicle. Investigators also found evidence on the men’s cell phones that linked all three to drug distribution.

Bond, 29, was sentenced on April 24, 2026, to 10 years and six months in prison and five years of supervised release. Cierley, 38, was sentenced on May 19, 2026, to seven years and three months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
