Omaha Man Sentenced to 235 Months for Fentanyl and Firearm Crimes

United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Kadonta Muldrew, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on November 19, 2025, in federal court in Omaha for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Muldrew to 235 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Muldrew’s release from prison, he will begin an 8-year term of supervised release.

In January 2024, a Federal Bureau of Investigation task force identified Muldrew as a dealer of fentanyl pills in Omaha and began an investigation. Between February and May of 2024, Muldrew sold pills to a confidential informant four times in quantities ranging from 50 to 200. Investigators also determined Muldrew was supplying at least one other dealer. On May 17, 2024, law enforcement arrested Muldrew and executed search warrants at three residences and a storage unit in Omaha. When he was arrested, Muldrew had approximately 234 fentanyl pills and $11,301 cash. Execution of the search warrants resulted in seizure of almost 2,000 fentanyl pills, four handguns, and more than $124,000 cash.

Co-defendant Jeron Morris, 33, of Omaha, has been convicted after a jury trial of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Because of prior federal convictions that enhance the statutory penalties, Morris faces a mandatory minimum of 35 years in prison and a maximum of life. Morris’ sentencing is scheduled for December 3, 2025.

The cash that was seized will be forfeited to the United States as proceeds of drug dealing.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Omaha Police Department with assistance from the Council Bluffs Police Department (Iowa), Bellevue Police Department, Papillion Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the Nebraska State Patrol, and the Iowa State Patrol. This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.
