Polk County Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Possession with Intent to Distribute

Acting United States Attorney Matthew R. Molsen announced that Daniel J. Brewer, 58, of Polk County, Nebraska, was sentenced on March 27, 2025, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Brewer to 168 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Brewer’s release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

On July 27, 2023, a confidential source purchased 28 grams of methamphetamine from Brewer at his Polk County residence. Officers conducted a search of Brewer’s residence later that day and recovered approximately 875 grams of methamphetamine, scales, packaging, and various live ammunition. Brewer was stopped after leaving his residence and found in possession of a meth pipe and the buy money from the controlled buy earlier that day.

This case was investigated by the Columbus Police Department and Specialized Narcotics Abuse Reduction Effort Task Force.
