Hartford, Vermont Man Charged with Drug Crime
A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging two-time U.S. Open snowboarding champion Rahm Klampert, 45, of Hartford, Vermont, with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl.
Klampert entered a plea of not guilty to the charges during an arraignment on July 31, 2025, before United States Magistrate Judge Kevin J. Doyle. Judge Doyle ordered that Klampert be detained during the pendency of this matter.
On June 20, 2025, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Klampert's residence and personal training studio, Rahm's Results, both located in Hartford, Vermont. In total, law enforcement recovered from those locations approximately 1.1 kilograms of methamphetamine, 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, and 75 grams of fentanyl; 12 firearms including multiple suspected short-barreled shotguns, assault rifles, and handguns, three of which have been identified as stolen; a money-counter machine; and over $100,000 in U.S. currency. Multiple sources of information reported to law enforcement that Klampert was trafficking drugs in the Hartford area.
The United States Attorney's Office emphasizes that an indictment contains allegations only and that Klampert is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. If convicted, Klampert faces a 10-year mandatory minimum prison sentence and up to a lifetime term of imprisonment. The sentence would be determined by the District Court with guidance from the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines and the statutory sentencing factors.
Acting United States Attorney Michael P. Drescher commended the investigatory efforts of the Hartford Police Department, the Vermont State Police, the Vermont Drug Task Force, the Brattleboro Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.
The prosecutors are Assistant United States Attorney Corinne Smith and Special Assistant United States Attorney Charles W. Kirkham. Klampert is represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Charles Curlett
Klampert faces a 10-year mandatory minimum prison sentence and up to a lifetime term of imprisonment.
