Omaha Man Sentenced to 48 Months for Possession of Methamphetamine

United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Miguel Lobano-Diaz, 35, a Mexican citizen living in Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.  Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Lobano-Diaz to 48 months’ imprisonment.  There is no parole in the federal system.  After his release from prison, he will begin a five-year term of supervised release. Lobano-Diaz is also pending an order of deportation.

In July 2022, Omaha police narcotics detectives identified Lobano-Diaz as a suspected supplier of cocaine in the Omaha area. On August 10, 2022, officers executed a search warrant of Lobano-Diaz’s residence and found 100 grams of methamphetamine and nine ounces of cocaine. Laboratory testing confirmed the methamphetamine was 94 percent pure. During the search, officers also located a large rechargeable scale and drug packaging.

This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department.
