Elicia Grigsby, a 54-year-old woman from Los Angeles, California, has been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for her role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl in Omaha, Nebraska.
According to court documents, Grigsby pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher to 170 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system.
Grigsby will begin a five-year term of supervised release after her release from prison. The charges stem from an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Omaha Police Department.
On October 26, 2023, investigators received information from the Omaha United States Postal Inspection Service regarding an inbound mail parcel destined for an Omaha residence. The parcel contained approximately 119 grams of fentanyl pills and approximately 464 grams of methamphetamine.
Investigators served a court-authorized search warrant on the parcel, opened it, and discovered the illicit substances. They then repackaged some of the methamphetamine into the parcel for the purposes of a controlled delivery operation at the intended delivery residence.
On the same date, investigators delivered the subject parcel to the residence where it was accepted by codefendant Shawn Robbins. Thereafter, investigators served a court-authorized search warrant on the residence, found the package, and arrested Robbins and Grigsby who were both found inside the residence.
In a post-Miranda interview, Grigsby admitted to her involvement in the delivery of the parcel and knew it contained approximately 2 pounds of methamphetamine. She also admitted to previously accepting multiple packages containing narcotics. Robbins is scheduled to plead guilty at a later date.
