Last of 4 Defendants Sentenced in Meth Conspiracy

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Alexis Rodriguez, 22, of Dallas, Texas, was sentenced June 26, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Rodriguez to 108 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Rodriguez’s release from prison, he will begin a 3-year term of supervised release.

On August 2, 2023, Rodriguez arrived at an AutoZone parking lot in Omaha with a co-defendant to drop off meth to two Omaha men. He was arrested by DEA agents along with three co-defendants. In a post-arrest interview after he was advised of his rights, Rodriguez admitted that he had picked up approximately 22.75 kilograms of meth in Houston, Texas and had agreed to transport it to Omaha.

All four co-defendants pleaded guilty to the same charge and received the same sentence. Gregorio Mina-Falcon, 36, and Jose Luis Garcia-Perez, 23, both of Omaha, and Eliuth Montero-Barrera, 24, of Dallas were sentenced earlier this year.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
