Convicted drug dealer gets three-year sentence after revocation

A convicted drug dealer saw his suspended sentence revoked in Flathead County District Court in December after allegedly getting caught with illegal drugs in Broadwater County over the summer. 

Judge Amy Eddy ordered Gordon Nicholas Breeden, 40, to the state Department of Corrections for three years after revoking the suspended sentence on Dec. 7. He received credit for 80 days of time served and 23 months of street time. 

Authorities arrested Breeden in Broadwater County on Aug. 4 for possession of dangerous drugs, speeding and displaying a fake or altered license plate, according to court documents. The allegations represented multiple violations of the conditions of Breeden’s suspended sentence stemming from a 2020 drug distribution conviction in Flathead County District Court.
