COEUR d’ALENE — A Montana man who was caught in Coeur d’Alene with more than 216 grams of fentanyl pills will spend two years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Idaho.

Quinn M. Brockman, 34, of Libby, Mont., pleaded guilty last August to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. U.S. District Judge Amanda K. Brailsford sentenced Brockman to 48 months in prison and ordered him to serve three years of supervised release upon completion of his sentence.

Brockman was reportedly pulled over in Coeur d’Alene while traveling through Idaho. He had purchased the fentanyl pills in Seattle, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and planned to resell them in Montana.

“I am grateful for our collaboration with (Idaho State Police) and all law enforcement in North Idaho to remove fentanyl dealers from our state,” U.S. Attorney Josh Hurwit said in a news release. “Together, we are committed to addressing the fentanyl problem affecting the health of our communities.”
