Lincoln Man Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine

Acting United States Attorney Jan Sharp announced that Michael Louis Muhle, 52, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on December 3, 2021 by United States District John M. Gerrard to 12 years and seven months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine mixture on October 28, 2020, after having been convicted for a serious drug felony.  Muhle will serve this sentence after he completes a state sentence of 8-10 years for burglary from Adams County. Following his prison term, Muhle will serve eight years on supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. 

On October 28, 2020, Muhle was stopped for driving on a suspended license.  Officers searched his person and his vehicle, finding a total of more than 335 grams of methamphetamine mixture along with two digital scales and multiple self-seal plastic baggies.  Muhle had a prior conviction from Lancaster County District Court in 2008 for delivery/possession with intent to deliver an exceptionally hazardous drug for which he received a sentence of four to six years in prison.

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