Alex Dunte Green, Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, Nebraska 2021

A Lincoln man has been sentenced to 87 months in prison for his role in a cocaine trafficking operation.

Alex Dunte Green, 34, was sentenced by United States District Judge John M. Gerrard on October 15, 2021, for possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine.

According to court records, law enforcement arranged a controlled purchase of a kilogram of cocaine from Green in the parking lot of a pharmacy in Lincoln on June 3, 2019. Green and another individual arrived at the parking lot in an SUV, where law enforcement responded and apprehended Green after he attempted to flee.

A search of the vehicle turned up a backpack containing a bag of cocaine, a scale, unused baggies, and a wallet with identification and debit cards bearing Green’s name.

The lab confirmed that the backpack contained approximately 989.9 grams of cocaine.

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

Green was sentenced to 87 months in prison followed by a four-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

The exact charges against Green were possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine.

This case is a reminder of the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat cocaine trafficking in our community.
