Fentanyl Ring Busted Across Four States | Butte News

A massive international fentanyl trafficking ring targeting Montana, Washington, Arizona, and Texas has been dismantled — with key players including Gerad Punch, sentenced to 20 years from the Netherlands, and Bernard Glass Jr., getting 15 years from Phoenix. The operation, uncovered through coordinated postal inspections and financial tracking, led to arrests across the U.S., including Montana native Adam Sarvis, who pleaded guilty and received a 2-year sentence plus supervised release. Investigators mapped over a dozen conspirators and their finances by fall 2024, culminating in Punch’s arrest in March 2025 after returning from abroad. This cross-agency bust — involving Homeland Security, IRS, postal inspectors, and state police — marks a major victory in the fight against deadly drug networks.
