Jackson Williams, Violent Felon Escape, Nebraska 2026

A convicted felon has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for escaping from federal custody in Omaha, Nebraska. Jackson Williams, 41, was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and sentenced to serve a 90-month custodial sentence with the United States Bureau of Prisons followed by three years of supervised release.

On December 18, 2024, Williams was granted a furlough to transfer from United States Penitentiary Florence in Florence, Colorado to Residential Reentry Center Dismas Charities in Omaha. However, Williams never showed up to Dismas Charities and his whereabouts were unknown until July 2025.

On July 28, 2025, Omaha Police Officers were patrolling the area of 28th and Pinkney streets in Omaha when they received information that a wanted federal fugitive was living in the tree line adjacent to a nearby park. They observed Williams standing at the northeast corner of the park near a picnic table and took him into custody without incident.

Upon searching the area, officers found a second pack of cigarettes matching the brand on the picnic table, credit cards, a federal prison identification card with Williams’s name and photo, two small baggies of methamphetamine weighing .5 and .7 grams, and a drug pipe.

Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr., sentenced Williams to 40 months’ imprisonment, with no parole in the federal system. After his release, he will begin a 3-year term of supervised release.

This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service with assistance from the Omaha Police Department. Williams was convicted by a federal jury on December 3, 2025.
