Kashaun Lockett, Methamphetamine Conspiracy, Nebraska 2023

A 38-year-old Omaha man is facing serious time behind bars after being sentenced for his involvement in a methamphetamine conspiracy.

Kashaun Lockett, 38, of Omaha, was sentenced to 204 months’ imprisonment in federal court for his role in distributing methamphetamine.

According to court documents, beginning in October 2020, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began investigating Lockett for distributing methamphetamine. Over the course of eight months, the FBI utilized a Confidential Source (CS) to make 13 controlled buys of meth from Lockett, totaling 419 grams of meth.

On one occasion, Lockett was unable to make the delivery, so he utilized his brother, Gary, to make the delivery. The FBI continued to monitor Lockett’s activities, and on June 14, 2021, a controlled buy was arranged with Lockett. Lockett’s residence was under surveillance at the time, and Lockett was followed when he left to meet with the CS.

The Omaha Police Department attempted a traffic stop on Lockett, but he fled from the stop. Lockett was observed throwing an item down a storm drain, which later turned out to be 319 grams of meth.

During Lockett’s flight, surveillance officers still at Lockett’s residence saw Gary Lockett and Robert Culberson exit the residence and toss meth and a firearm into the tree line at the back of Lockett’s residence.

Lockett’s sentence was enhanced due to possessing the firearm and for having a previous federal drug conviction. Culberson was sentenced on August 15, 2023, to 120 months for his involvement. Gary Lockett is set for sentencing on March 15, 2024.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Omaha Police Department.
