Omaha Woman Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison for Methamphetamine Charge
United States Attorney Susan T. Lehr announced that Aleah Meyer, age 27, of Omaha, Nebraska was sentenced on January 10, 2025, in federal court in Omaha after having pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Chief United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Meyer to 84 months’ imprisonment and to forfeit $7,613. There is no parole in the federal system. After Meyer’s release from prison, she will begin a 4-year term of supervised release.
On March 30, 2023, and April 11, 2023, law enforcement utilized a confidential source to purchase 1-pound of meth from a Mexico-based source of supply. The drug transactions were arranged through text messages with the source and codefendant, Leonires Perez-Gonzales, both coordinating with the Mexico-based source of supply.
During the April 11, 2023, transaction, the source met with codefendant Perez-Gonzales at an Omaha location where the drug transaction took place inside of the codefendant’s vehicle. The codefendant was driving while Aleah Meyer was in the front passenger seat when the codefendant sold 1 pound of meth to the source for $2,500.
On April 18, 2023, officers executed a search warrant at Meyer’s Omaha apartment. Officers found the codefendant packing a vehicle in front of the apartment. During the search warrant, officers located: a semi-automatic black Sccy Industries 9 mm handgun, semi-automatic Glock 48 9mm handgun, another Glock 48 9mm handgun, a semi-automatic F1 firearms 5.56 rifle, a F.N. Model Scar 17 .762 Caliber rifle, a safe containing 900.4 grams of meth, $7,613 U.S. currency in drug proceeds, a drug ledger, another bag with 234.7 grams of meth, a digital scale, and various amounts of ammunition. Testing established that the codefendant’s and Meyer’s DNA were on multiple firearms seized in this case. By pleading guilty, Meyer gave up any right or claim to the money and firearms seized in this case.
Codefendant Perez-Gonzales had previously pled to drug and gun charges and was sentenced to 248 months’ imprisonment on May 10, 2024.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
