Omaha Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine and Firearm Offenses

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Alfred Rogers, age 63, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced October 17, 20224 in federal court in Omaha for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine and possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Rogers to 180 months’ imprisonment for the drug count and to 300 months, consecutive, for the firearm offense for a total of 480 months. There is no parole in the federal system. After Rogers is released from prison, he will begin a 10-year term of supervised release. Rogers’ sentence was enhanced due to a prior serious felony drug conviction for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Rogers will also forfeit $45,906.00 in United States currency to the United States as drug proceeds.

On May 23, 2022, officers of the Omaha Police Department Narcotics and SWAT units executed a search warrant at a home in Omaha. Officers located Rogers at the home. During the search, officers located 428 grams of meth, 33 grams of cocaine, 1,968 grams of marijuana, and 95 fentanyl pills. Officers also located a 9mm handgun in the ceiling rafters and $45,906 in U.S. currency.

Rogers was found guilty by a jury on July 18, 2024.

This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department.
