Norfolk Woman Sentenced for Fentanyl Trafficking

A 24-year-old Norfolk woman has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in a fentanyl trafficking operation that left a victim seriously injured.

Alexzandra Blanco was sentenced on May 14, 2025, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl resulting in serious bodily injury and conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher handed down the 240-month sentence.

Blanco will also forfeit $4,200.00 in United States currency and a 2019 Dodge Ram truck to the United States as drug proceeds. After her release from prison, she will begin a 3-year term of supervised release.

The investigation into Blanco’s activities began on March 17, 2023, when law enforcement responded to an overdose call at an apartment in Norfolk. It was there that Blanco provided fentanyl to a victim who later overdosed but was revived by Narcan.

During a search of the residence, law enforcement seized 221 fentanyl pills, drug paraphernalia, more than 5 pounds of methamphetamine, and $4,200.00 in United States currency. Blanco was convicted after a jury trial in February 2025.

Co-defendant Tremain Monroe, Blanco’s boyfriend at the time, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. Monroe was sentenced to 210 months’ imprisonment on October 23, 2024, by Judge Buescher.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration Overdose Drug Task Force, which is comprised of law enforcement from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Omaha Police Department, Nebraska State Patrol, and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
