Omaha Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Conspiracy

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Randall Lee Duncan, age 64, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced October 3, 2024, in federal court in Omaha for his participation in a methamphetamine drug conspiracy. Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Duncan to 96 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Duncan’s release from prison, he will begin a 3-year term of supervised release. Duncan also agreed to the forfeiture of his 2014 Ford F-250 King Ranch Super Duty Crew Cab pickup which was used to facilitate the drug conspiracy.

As part of a long-term investigation into a known source-of-supply (SOS) operating out of Mexico, the DEA began investigating various related meth distributors operating in the Omaha metro area.  One of the local distributors was identified as Randall Duncan.

Beginning on August 17, 2022, Duncan arranged with the SOS to purchase meth for distribution, and DEA surveilled Duncan’s meeting with another known distributor working for the SOS. Following the meeting, Duncan messaged the SOS with complaints about the quality of the meth he had received.  Duncan sent a text message photograph of a bag of meth. Law enforcement obtained the photograph. 

In April 2023, law enforcement utilized a confidential source to purchase one pound of meth from Duncan. Law enforcement ultimately searched Duncan’s residence and located an additional seven pounds of meth.

This operation was 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.

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