A drug trafficker who enlisted the help of a female customer to transport methamphetamines in her vagina boasted that some of his drugs were “five star from overseas”.

Dany-Kayn Bo Story, 34, trafficked methamphetamines and marijuana for four months in Longreach, dabbling in MDMA and speed, the Supreme Court in Rockhampton heard on October 28.

Justice Graeme Crow said Story’s illegal business was detected during a police operation in the Longreach region in 2022.

He said Story trafficked between May 7 to September 13 that year, continuing to trafficking after being released on bail for possessing drugs and utensils twice, along with becoming aware his phone was tapped.

Story had at least 15 customers he made at least 17 supplies to with the total amount of meth supplied that police could confirm being 45.8 grams.

Justice Crow said Story’s supplies were “street level” with the largest meth supply being three grams and the largest marijuana supply being six grams.

He said evidence showed Story refer to meth as “primo from Canada” to one customer, referring to sourcing the illicit substance from a person know only as “L Boy” and another supplier in Mackay, along with a third supplier with the meth “coming from a different country”.

Justice Crow said Story referred to his marijuana as “government-grown medicinal stuff”.

He said the defendant even stopped supplying drugs to one customer who failed to pay their debts.

Dany-Kayn Bo Story, 34, trafficked methamphetamines and marijuana for four months in Longreach in outback Queensland.

Justice Crow said police knew when Story became aware his phone was intercepted because he took a screenshot on information about how one can tell if police in Australia have ‘tapped into your phone’.

He said Story also told someone “police can’t listen to my calls now because I got rid of that number”.

Justice Crow said when Story was told someone in his car might be a police informant, Story responded that if they were he will have to “bury the c---”.

By the time Story’s trafficking business came to an end he was owed between $2000 and $4600 by one person alone.

Police searched Story’s house on November 10 and charged him with trafficking three days later before being released on bail.

Defence barrister David Carlin said the father-of-three and stepfather-of-two had a longstanding issue with drugs and had turned to trafficking, while working full-time, to fund his own meth habit and was “certainly not leading a lavish lifestyle” as he was “complaining about cars breaking down in the middle of nowhere”.

He said following the breakdown of the relationship with the mother of two of his children, and that woman leaving the area with the children, Story’s drug use increased after a lack of access to the children.

Mr Carlin said Story had also relocated to Longreach for work and was socialising with other drug users.

“He was aware he was going down the wrong path,” he said.

Mr Carlin pointed out that while it was easy to identify being on the wrong path, it wasn’t so easy to get off the path.

He said his client, who was supported by his brothers and father, had a Grade 8 education but had a great work history, working on farming properties and more recently at his brother’s feedlot business.

Mr Carlin said since his arrest for trafficking, his client had stopped using drugs, moved to Blackall and dedicated his life to being a father and hard worker.

He said Story had “heavily leaned on his family” and been involved with his church.

The court heard Story had initially intended to enter a plea of guilty in July in Longreach, but changed his mind and had entered a plea of not guilty in August with a trial to start on October 28.

He changed his mind two days before the trial was due to start.

Story pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking drugs on October 28 and was sentenced to 3.5 years prison with parole eligibility from December 27, 2025.
