PROVIDENCE – A Battle Ground, Washington woman has pleaded guilty in federal court in Rhode Island to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, and one count of possession with intent to distribute controlled substances, announced Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom.


According to a release, 39-year-old Megan Far pleaded guilty on December 2, 2025, to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute various schedule IV-controlled substances, and possession with intent to distribute various schedule IV-controlled substances. She is scheduled to be sentenced on March 3, 2026. The sentences imposed will be determined by a federal district judge after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

According to court documents, Farra was part of a drug-distribution network that included several co-conspirators working for a drug organization based overseas. Members of the group in the United States received bulk shipments of pills from their international source, repacked the drugs into smaller quantities, and mailed them to buyers throughout the U.S.  In return, they were paid for their role in facilitating the distribution scheme. The conspiracy was responsible for the importation and distribution of tens of thousands of pills containing schedule IV-controlled substances as well as non-controlled prescription drugs.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ronald R. Gendron.

The matter was investigated by the Food and Drug Administration Office of Criminal Investigations, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and Homeland Security Investigations.
