Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - At approximately 10:44 a.m. on October 18, 2025, a Missoula Police Department Officer observed a white Ford Kountry motorhome in the area of American Way and Great Northern Ave. The officer knew from prior knowledge that a male with a warrant was listed as one of the four people staying in this motorhome as of September 26th per the Vehicle Camping Permit list.  

Officers knocked on the trailer, and the door was answered by 36-year-old Tammany Andrade, one of the other listed residents. Tammany stated that the male officers were looking for was not there was not allowed to be there anymore, and that she had kicked him out. The officer asked Tammany who else was there with her, and she said only her boyfriend, 42-year-old Sampson Adkins.  

Tammany mentioned having just woken up and getting out of bed. The officer asked Tammany if she could step inside to make sure the male was not there, and Tammany said yes. When the officer stepped inside, she saw Sampson sitting on the bed in the back room. The officer then observed a small digital scale sitting on the kitchen stove.

That's Not My Meth

Tammany denied any knowledge of the methamphetamine and stated it must have been left there by the male she had kicked out a day or two prior. Tammany declined ever noticing it and stated it is usually dark in the trailer. The officer had been able to see the scale and methamphetamine without a light.  

Sampson spoke with another officer and also declined to be the owner of the methamphetamine. Sampson claimed he had only been staying in the motorhome for two days. Later, Sampson admitted to knowing about the methamphetamine, said it was Tammany’s, and said he came over to the motorhome to help her inject it. Sampson stated there should be a used syringe in the bedroom with blood and more methamphetamine in it.  

Both Tammany and Sampson stated that Tammany is the owner of the motorhome. The officer later performed a warrant search of the motorhome and located four used hypodermic syringes, two with blood in them, multiple needle caps, broken pieces of a used glass pipe, saline wash tubes, an empty methadone container belonging to the kicked out male, a torniquet, 8 clear small plastic baggies, one of which contained white residue, a digital scale, and a homemade water bong.
