A Kalispell man who allegedly sold drugs to undercover agents over the course of about six months in 2022 is facing multiple felony charges in Flathead County District Court.  

Prosecutors brought Allen Paul Parsons, 36, up on seven counts of criminal distribution of dangerous drugs in October in connection with the string of deals between February and August 2022. Parsons pleaded not guilty before Judge Paul Sullivan on Oct. 30.  

Prosecutors have since filed a motion to see one of the seven counts dismissed “in the interest of justice,” according to documents filed in district court.  

Members of the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force arranged the first of the fake drug buys in February 2022 after learning that Parsons was selling cocaine in the Flathead Valley, court documents said.  

An agent arranged to meet with Parsons outside a Kalispell casino. During the rendezvous, the agent discussed Parsons’ prices and future deals, and they chatted about how the 36-year-old secured his illicit wares, court documents alleged. The agent allegedly left with three jewel bags containing what later tested positive for cocaine.

A second deal occurred in April of that year, court documents said. The agent allegedly arranged to buy 7 grams of cocaine for $700, and the two met in the parking lot of a Kalispell supermarket, court documents alleged.  

The agent met up with Parsons later that month, this time at a Kalispell gas station to buy opioids, court documents said. Parsons allegedly turned over a 5-milliliter bottle of medicine that later testing determined was liquid oxycodone.  

In May 2022, the agent arranged to meet with Parsons in the parking lot of a Kalispell big box retailer to buy cocaine, according to court documents. Parsons allegedly sold the agent 3.81 grams of the drug for $350.  

Later that month, the agent contacted Parsons for a bigger deal, court documents said. He wanted a half ounce of cocaine and was willing to pay $1,500 upfront so that Parsons could get the drugs from his supplier, according to court documents.  

The two met at a Kalispell gas station and chatted about the logistics, including where Parsons would need to go to get the cocaine, in Parsons’ vehicle, court documents said. After the two departed, other agents tracked Parsons’ movements.  

The two met later that day at the gas station and Parsons allegedly handed over the cocaine.  

In June 2022, Parsons contacted the agent to see if they were interested in buying an ounce of cocaine, according to court documents. When the pair met up, again at a Kalispell gas station, Parsons allegedly handed over an Airpods case that contained about 23 grams of cocaine for $1,700.  

Parsons contacted the agent later that day, saying he had found more cocaine, court documents said. The two returned to the gas station to conclude the transaction.  

Parsons and the agent met again in August 2022, according to court documents. This time, the agent agreed to front Parsons $800 — with full payment to follow — so the pair could secure an ounce of cocaine from Parsons’ supplier, according to court documents. Parsons allegedly rendezvoused with his supplier at his home before returning to the agent with 32 bags containing cocaine.  

After Parsons entered his plea last month, Sullivan set an omnibus hearing for Feb. 2 with a pretrial conference to follow on March 30. A bail modification hearing is scheduled for Nov. 30.  

Criminal distribution of dangerous drugs is punishable by up to 25 years imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.
