Omaha Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Distributing Methamphetamine and Possessing Firearm

United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Alexander Jackson, 54, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on December 17, 2025, in federal court in Omaha for distribution of methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Jackson to 180 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Jackson’s release from prison, he will begin an eight-year term of supervised release.

In April 2024, an individual cooperating with law enforcement made two controlled buys from Jackson in Omaha. The first was for one ounce of methamphetamine. The second was for one ounce of methamphetamine and a 9mm handgun.

Between 1991 and 2014, Jackson was convicted four times for drug dealing offenses in Douglas County District Court. Because of the 2014 prior conviction, Jackson faced an enhancement mandatory minimum of 10 years’ imprisonment and eight years of supervised release for this federal offense.

This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
