Ashley O’Connell, Methamphetamine Conspiracy, Nebraska 2023

A 33-year-old Lincoln woman is facing the harsh reality of over a decade behind bars after being found guilty of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine in the Lincoln area.

Ashley O’Connell, 33, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced to 150 months in federal prison for her role in a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine mixture.

This egregious crime took place between November 1, 2017, and November 27, 2019, during which time O’Connell conspired with at least eight other individuals to distribute the illicit substance in the Lincoln area.

According to court documents, O’Connell obtained methamphetamine in quantities ranging from a quarter ounce to a half pound from several individuals and sold methamphetamine to several others in quantities ranging from one-sixteenth ounce to a quarter pound.

On November 27, 2019, law enforcement stopped a stolen vehicle driven by O’Connell in Lincoln, which ultimately led to her arrest. The vehicle search uncovered two baggies of methamphetamine weighing over a gram, a firearm, and a digital scale with methamphetamine residue.

Following her term of imprisonment, O’Connell must serve a five-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

The Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force and the Lincoln Police Department led the investigation into O’Connell’s illicit activities.
