Man Sentenced for Drug Trafficking Crime

Acting United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Cameron Woods, 44, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine.  Senior United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Woods to 180 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system.  After his release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

On April 16, 2022, Lincoln Police Department officers noticed a vehicle sitting at an intersection with a green light in Lincoln. Officers got out to check on the vehicle and saw Woods asleep at the wheel. Officers also saw a partially empty bottle of liquor on the passenger seat.

When officers attempted to put the vehicle in park, Woods woke up and grabbed a purple Crown Royal bag from the center console area that contained a clear self-seal baggie with 110 grams of 100% pure methamphetamine verified through forensic lab testing.  Woods was arrested and subsequently indicted on the drug trafficking crime.  A criminal history check revealed that Woods had previously been convicted of trafficking methamphetamine in 2011 and was sentenced to a 6-year prison term.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln Police Department.
