Brian Titman, Methamphetamine Trafficking, Nebraska 2025

Brian Titman, 46, of North Platte, Nebraska, Sentenced to 235 Months for Methamphetamine Trafficking

A North Platte man has been sentenced to 235 months in prison for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine trafficking operation. Brian Titman, 46, was sentenced on April 10, 2025, in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska, for one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis, who also ordered Titman to serve a 10-year term of supervised release after his release from prison. The total sentence of 235 months, which translates to 19.58 years, is the longest possible non-parolable sentence in the federal system.

Titman's troubles began in 2017 when he was sentenced to 60 months in the Bureau of Prisons for distributing 50 grams or more of meth mixture. Upon his release, he was placed on supervised release, but he failed to comply with the terms of his release. A warrant was issued for his arrest in March 2023, and over the next year, Titman and law enforcement in west-central Nebraska engaged in a cat-and-mouse game, with Titman taking steps to conceal his identity and law enforcement actively working to arrest him.

On March 15, 2024, a citizen reported to law enforcement the vehicle Titman was driving and where he was headed. Law enforcement again moved to contact Titman on a traffic stop, but he took off, fleeing at high speeds. During the pursuit, occupants of the vehicle threw out multiple baggies of meth, personal belongings, and ammunition. The recovered items included a Walmart bag containing 9mm ammunition and multiple baggies containing a total of 6.3 ounces of meth. Additional meth was located in the vehicle.

The vehicle eventually became high-centered in a pasture in Lincoln County, and all occupants fled into a nearby tree line. Officers were able to call all occupants out and take Titman and the passengers into custody. The next day, the owner of the pasture called law enforcement and turned over approximately 11.5 ounces of methamphetamine, Narcan, and several personal items that he had found in the pasture and on the county road.

This case was investigated by the Nebraska State Patrol and the CODE Task Force. The recovered methamphetamine weighed over 600 grams, a significant amount of the highly addictive and destructive drug.
