CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Lander man Jason Trimmer was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison, plus five years of supervised release, for drug trafficking and methamphetamine charges.

In late 2024, agents with the Rocky Mountain Safe Trails Task Force were investigating the trafficking of controlled substances in and around the Wind River Reservation. The task force had information that Trimmer, now 47, was distributing controlled substances in the area.

On April 3, during a routine traffic stop on Trimmer’s vehicle, officers discovered a variety of controlled substances — including more than 100 counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl and more than 50 grams of methamphetamine — and cash. Officers also located a handgun in the driver’s-side door pocket.

Subsequently, law enforcement obtained a warrant and searched Trimmer’s residence, where they located additional fentanyl, more than 500 grams of methamphetamine, other controlled substances, firearms, a large quantity of cash and scales and packaging material for redistribution.

District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson imposed the sentence on Feb. 27.
