IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Two methamphetamine dealers in separate Eastern Idaho cases were each sentenced to five years in federal prison for drug distribution, U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis announced today.
Tamrik Paul Day, 27, of Spokane, Washington, and Jessie Kim Mitchell, 64, of Pingree, Idaho, both received the 60-month sentence from U.S. Chief District Judge David C. Nye. The cases were investigated by the multi-agency BADGES Task Force.

Day was sentenced for distributing a total of 82 grams of methamphetamine through the mail in early 2024.
According to court records, Day distributed the substance between January 30 and February 15, 2024, to two individuals who paid using a mobile peer-to-peer financial platform. Day pleaded guilty to the charges in September 2024. Following his prison term, Judge Nye ordered him to serve four years of supervised release.
