Omaha Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Conspiracy

Acting United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that German Reyes Jr., 25, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.  United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Reyes to imprisonment for a term of 188 months. There is no parole in the federal system.  After his release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

Between September and November 2020, German Reyes assisted Mexico-based sources of supply along with local co-conspirators to obtain and distribute methamphetamine. Beginning in September 2020, an undercover agent arranged multiple purchases of methamphetamine.

One such buy occurred on September 14, 2020, when the defendant, accompanied by a co-conspirator, sold a pound of methamphetamine to the undercover agent. Similarly, on November 9, 2020, a co-conspirator at Reyes’s direction sold the undercover agent a pound of methamphetamine.

The overall investigation resulted in the recovery of 1,587 grams of methamphetamine.

Co-defendant Abraham Alvarenga is pending sentencing on November 2, 2022.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Omaha Field Division, and the Omaha Police Department.
