Worland man sentenced in U.S. District Court

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming has announced the sentencing of a former Greybull man who recently pleaded guilty to felony drug charges.

Micah Edwards Maas, 37, of Worland, was sentenced to 120 months’ imprisonment with five years of supervised release to follow for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and aiding and abetting in the use of a communication facility to facilitate a felony drug offense.

According to court documents, in July 2024, the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) received information that Micah Maas was a distributor of fentanyl and methamphetamine in the Worland area. 

As the investigation continued, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) learned of a suspected methamphetamine source of supply in San Francisco who was shipping packages to Worland through the U.S. Postal Service. USPIS investigators began monitoring the packages and intercepted multiple packages containing methamphetamine and others containing thousands of fentanyl pills. DCI and USPIS investigated the crime. Assistant U.S. Attorney Paige Hammer prosecuted the case. 

Maas was indicted on May 21 and pleaded guilty on Sept. 16. 

U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson imposed the sentence on Dec. 11 in Cheyenne.
