JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two Columbia residents pleaded guilty in federal court to meth trafficking.

Bryan Tullous, 39, pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute meth. Cassiopeia Blaise, 36, pleaded guilty Tuesday to possessing meth with the intent to distribute.

In April 2019, officers intercepted a package, with over five pounds of meth in it, from California that had been shipped to a residence in the 1700 block of Hanover Blvd.

During the investigation, detectives found the meth inside the home and over a dozen guns.

Tullous faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison without parole and up to a sentence of life in federal prison without parole.

Blaise faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison without parole, up to 40 years in federal prison.
