Alex Kellum, a repeat offender, has been sentenced to 120 months in federal prison for his role in distributing crack cocaine in the Omaha area.
According to court documents, Kellum, 39, of Omaha, Nebraska, was found guilty of three counts of crack cocaine distribution on December 11, 2019. He had previously been convicted of a serious drug felony in 2003, for which he served 70 months in prison.
The investigation into Kellum’s activities was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Omaha Police Department, with the assistance of a confidential informant. The informant made 12 controlled buys from Kellum between September 6, 2017 and April 27, 2018, resulting in the seizure of 600.3 grams of crack cocaine and 27.9 grams of powder cocaine.
Kellum’s sentence was enhanced due to his previous serious drug felony conviction. He will serve an eight-year term of supervised release following his release from the Bureau of Prisons, where there is no parole.
The case against Kellum is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in the Omaha area. The distribution of crack cocaine has devastating consequences for individuals and communities, and law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice.
Kellum’s sentencing is a significant milestone in this effort, and serves as a warning to others who would engage in similar activities. The people of Omaha and the surrounding area can rest a little easier knowing that Kellum will be held accountable for his crimes.
