Washington Man Sentenced to 70 Months for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine

Acting United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Dallas Faamausili, 36, of Renton, Washington, was sentenced today in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska.  United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Faamausili to 70 months in prison for one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine.  After serving his sentence, Faamausili will be placed on supervised release for 2 years.  There is no parole in the federal system. 

On May 26, 2021, a Seward County Sheriff’s deputy stopped a vehicle driven by Faamausili for a traffic violation on Interstate 80.  Faamausili gave consent to search his vehicle for illegal narcotics.  The deputy noticed that the stow-n-go compartment in the vehicle was glued shut.  He eventually opened the compartment and found several clear plastic packages containing suspected methamphetamine.  In total, there were about 100 one-pound sized bricks seized from the vehicle.  Two of the pound size bricks were sent to the lab for testing.  The lab determined that one brick contained 443.97 grams of methamphetamine and the other brick contained 446.57 grams of methamphetamine.  Purity was conducted, and the lab determined that the two bricks contained at least 840 grams of actual methamphetamine.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Seward County Interdiction Task Force, and the Saline County Sheriff’s Office.
