Man Sentenced for Escaping from Custody

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Anthony Aranda, 32, was sentenced on March 8, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for escape from custody. Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Aranda to 8 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Aranda’s release from prison, he will begin a 3-year term of supervised release.

Aranda was convicted on February 12, 2015, in the United States Court for the District of Nebraska of carjacking and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence.  He was sentenced to 130-months imprisonment.  After his custodial sentence, in September 2023 Aranda was designated by the Bureau of Prisons to serve the remainder of his sentence at DISMAS Charities in Omaha, Nebraska, through January 2024.  On October 17, 2023, Aranda left DISMAS Charities and did not return. Aranda was eventually found and arrested on October 26, 2023, at a residence in Sioux City, Iowa.

This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service.
