Las Vegas Man Sentenced for Involvement in Drug Conspiracy

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Alejandro Dominguez Delapena, 26, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was sentenced on October 25, 2024, in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine actual, 500 grams or more of meth mixture and a mixture or substance containing marijuana. Senior United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Delapena to 102 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Delapena’s release from prison, he will begin a five-year term of supervised release.

Between about February of 2020 and May of 2022, information obtained by law enforcement indicated Delapena was having packages of meth delivered to several residences in Lincoln.  It was believed that Delapena received multiple pounds of meth at a time in shipments from outside Nebraska.  Delapena is estimated to have been responsible for the distribution of more than 165 pounds of meth mixture during that timeframe in the Lincoln area.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force.
