Pregnant Probationer Tests Positive for Meth and THC in Missoula
On August 18, 2026, 32-year-old Michaela Kerner, a pregnant probationer in Missoula, Montana, was brought before the probation and parole office. During her visit, a urinalysis was conducted, revealing that her urine sample tested positive for THC, methamphetamine, and alcohol. Kerner initially tried to blame a Kombucha drink for the THC positive, but the probation officer was familiar with her usual excuses.
When asked about the methamphetamine positive, Kerner denied any use but admitted to vaping an unknown substance the previous day. Upon further investigation, a small glass jar containing a white powdery substance was found in her bag. The glass jar had a small spoon attached to the lid. The substance was later identified as Ketamine using a TruNarc scanner.
Kerner confessed to using dangerous drugs while pregnant but claimed she did not know what the glass container and substance were. She was subsequently arrested and charged with felony criminal possession of dangerous drugs and probation violation.
