Missoula Drug Bust: Dealer Arrested Again Two Months Later

Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - In the spring of 2025, a Task Force Officer (TFO) with the Missoula Drug Task Force (MDTF) was contacted by a Confidential Informant who wished to provide information on a distributor of dangerous drugs, specifically methamphetamine and fentanyl. The distributor was identified as 29-year-old Devin Bond.  

The TFO was familiar with Bond and was able to verify information provided by the Informant as true and accurate. The information collected through the TFO’s investigation led to Bond and two co-conspirators being interdicted in July of 2025, while traveling back to Missoula, MT, from Spokane, WA.  

During this interdiction, a search warrant was executed, and the following items were seized:
