A Lewiston man pleaded guilty to methamphetamine trafficking in northern Idaho.
Gary Glasser, 61, of Lewiston, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute meth before U.S. Magistrate Judge Debora K. Grasham.
U.S. Attorney Josh Hurwit announced the guilty plea Wednesday, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
According to court records, Glasser met another person who gave him a satchel with meth in May 2023 in Nez Perce County.
