Macy Man Sentenced for Firearm and Drug Trafficking Crimes

United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Terrence Sherman, 37, of Macy, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.  United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Sherman to 180 months of imprisonment.  There is no parole in the federal system.  After his release from prison, Sherman will begin a five-year term of supervised release.

On August 20, 2021, officers stopped a vehicle in Macy containing four people, including Sherman and co-defendant Collin Parker.  Officers located approximately 123 grams of methamphetamine, scales, baggies, and a 12-gauge shotgun.  Sherman and Parker had conspired to distribute methamphetamine and they possessed the shotgun in furtherance of that conspiracy.  Parker previously pleaded guilty and on April 5, 2023, was sentenced to 110 months in prison. 

This case was investigated by the Omaha Nation Law Enforcement Services, the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
