Convicted sex offender facing revocation of suspended sentences

A convicted sex offender is facing the revocation of his suspended sentence after allegedly getting caught using methamphetamine and fentanyl multiple times through the winter and spring. 

Prosecutors on Friday filed a petition for revocation in Flathead County District Court for David Berlin Trent, 47, of Kalispell, at the behest of his probation and parole officer. Trent is serving a pair of five-year suspended sentences for sexual abuse of children and criminal possession of dangerous drugs.

Described as “not fit for community supervision” in a violation reported filed in district court, Trent remains in the county jail with bail set at $100,000. He is expected to appear before Judge Robert Allison on June 6.
