Lincoln Man Sentenced to 188 Months in Prison for Methamphetamine Distribution
A 39-year-old Lincoln man has been sentenced to 188 months in prison for his role in distributing methamphetamine in the city. Anthony Dwayne Jackson, 39, was sentenced by United States District Judge John M. Gerrard in federal court in Lincoln on April 8, 2021.
According to court documents, an undercover Lincoln Police Officer made a series of controlled purchases of methamphetamine from Jackson in Lincoln in quantities ranging from an eighth of an ounce up to three ounces of methamphetamine from January through March, 2021. On April 8, 2021, officers arrested Jackson in Lincoln and searched his vehicle. Inside the vehicle was about an ounce of methamphetamine, a digital scale with suspected methamphetamine residue, and a number of baggies typically used in the packaging and sale of narcotics.
The methamphetamine seized or obtained from Jackson that was tested for purity was at least 90% pure. This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force.
Jackson’s sentence includes a mandatory minimum sentence of 188 months due to his prior serious drug felony conviction. He will be placed on supervised release for 10 years after serving his sentence. There is no parole in the federal system.
