Omaha Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Conspiracy

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Jeffrey Scott Beran, age 51, of Omaha, Nebraska was sentenced October 18, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, for his involvement in a methamphetamine conspiracy. Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Beran to 240 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, he will begin a 10-year term of supervised release.

On March 30, 2023, the Omaha Police Department utilized a confidential informant (CI) to purchase 91 grams of meth from Beran. On May 31, 2023, another controlled buy was done utilizing a CI. The CI met with Beran, who told the CI that he had to go meet someone to get the meth. Beran was under surveillance and was observed meeting with a silver Malibu at the Oakview Mall parking lot. Beran returned to the CI and sold him 98 grams of meth.

Beran’s sentence was increased after the court determined that Beran was a Career Offender. Beran had numerous criminal convictions, including serious felony drug convictions from 2007 and 2018.

This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department.
