Billings woman sentenced to more than 10 years for trafficking meth

BILLINGS - A Billings woman who trafficked meth as part of a larger drug ring was sentenced today to 10 years and six months in prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Mark Steger Smith said.

Jamie Lynn Strosky, 46, pleaded guilty in February 2026 to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided.

The government alleged in court documents that Strosky was trafficking meth in Billings as part of the Ray Best drug trafficking ring. Fellow traffickers had identified Strosky in interviews, leading law enforcement to place surveillance on Strosky's residence in January 2025. For a week they saw other traffickers come and go from the house. During the same time, an additional source identified Strosky as the person supplying their methamphetamine.

Using a warrant, law enforcement searched Strosky's home on Jan. 22, 2025, and found methamphetamine, plastic baggies, and a scale.

The U.S. Attorney's Office, represented by AUSA Thomas Godfrey, prosecuted the case. The DEA, EMHIDTA, Billings Police Department, and Montana DCI conducted the investigation.
