Mexican Man Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison for Conspiring to Distribute Methamphetamine

United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Alfredo Escobar, 40, of Guanajuato, Mexico, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for Conspiracy to Possesses with the Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Escobar to 10 years in prison. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, Escobar will begin a five-year term of supervised release.

Law enforcement made two controlled purchases of methamphetamine from Escobar over the course of a 10-month period in the Omaha area. The first buy was for one ounce of methamphetamine on August 3, 2020. The second buy was for two ounces of methamphetamine on June 1, 2021.  On June 11, 2021, a search warrant was served on Escobar’s Omaha residence with officers locating approximately one pound of methamphetamine. During a post-arrest interview, Escobar admitted to his involvement in distributing methamphetamine.

This case was the result of an investigation by the Omaha Police Department.
