Description: Coeur d'Alene, ID - drug distribution crime criminal defense lawyer represented defendant.
Adam Christopher Horty, 57, of Post Falls, Idaho, was three counts of distribution of methamphetamine, one count of possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, and one count of felon in possession of firearms.
Evidence presented at trial established that law enforcement officials began investigating Horty in July of 2018 for distributing methamphetamine out of a home in Post Falls. During the investigation, law enforcement conducted controlled purchases of methamphetamine from Horty at this residence on three occasions. On August 14, 2018, law enforcement served a search warrant at Horty’s residence. During the warrant service, Horty was found in possession of 230 grams of actual methamphetamine and drug distribution paraphernalia. Officers also located three firearms in Horty’s bedroom. Horty has multiple prior felony convictions in the State of Washington, which prohibit him from possessing firearms.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations, Post Falls Police Department, Idaho State Police, Idaho Department of Correction, and Rathdrum Police Department.
