Lincoln Man Sentenced for Meth Conspiracy and Possessing Meth with Intent to Distribute

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Nebraska

United States Attorney Jan Sharp announced that Gregory Neemann, 57, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and for possession of actual methamphetamine with intent to distribute.  Senior United States District Judge Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced Neemann to imprisonment for a term of 180 months. There is no parole in the federal system.  After his release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

Omaha Police Department (OPD) officers received information about Neemann from a confidential source in March 2020. On March 13, 2020, OPD officers stopped Neeman’s car in anticipation of serving a search warrant at his residence in Omaha. Neemann was in possession of methamphetamine and $2,363 in drug proceeds. 

A search of the Neemann’s residence yielded drug paraphernalia, a functional digital scale, and another quantity of methamphetamine. Neemann admitted to additional pound-quantity distributions of methamphetamine obtained from co-defendant Michael Allison. The total amount of methamphetamine mixture was in excess of 500 grams.

Before Neemann committed the offense charged in this indictment, he had a final conviction for a prior serious drug felony.  Specifically, on September 21, 1999, Neemann was convicted in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. In that case he was sentenced to a 151-month term of imprisonment followed by a 3-year term of supervised release.

Co-defendant Michael Allison is scheduled to be sentenced on April 25, 2022.

This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department.
