Roca Man Sentenced to More than 16 Years for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine

Acting United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Timothy Alan Moore, 58, of Roca, Nebraska, was sentenced today in Lincoln, Nebraska, by Senior United States District Judge John M. Gerrard for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine. Moore was sentenced to 200 months in prison and will also serve 5 years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Additionally, Moore will forfeit to the United States $9,930 in U.S. currency that was seized during the investigation. 

On June 28, 2021, investigators with the Lincoln/Lancaster County Task Force executed a search warrant for Moore’s residence in Roca.  During the search, officers found three baggies of suspected methamphetamine weighing 318.5 grams, 8.7 grams, and 2.5 grams.  Officers also found a handgun with a magazine containing 8 rounds of ammunition and a total of $9,930 in U.S. currency.

A lab determined that the baggie weighing 318.5 grams contained about 310.91 grams of methamphetamine, of which at least 290 grams were pure methamphetamine.  The other baggies were confirmed by the lab to contain methamphetamine.  The currency seized was the proceeds of drug sales or used to facilitate Moore’s sale of methamphetamine.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln Police Department and the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force.
