Jared B. Cain, Methamphetamine Possession, Nebraska 2021

A massive methamphetamine haul on Interstate 80 in Hamilton County, Nebraska, led to the arrest and sentencing of a notorious Arizona trafficker.

On November 11, 2021, a Nebraska state trooper stopped a black sedan for traffic violations. Jared B. Cain, 41, of Phoenix, Arizona, was the passenger and had rented the vehicle. Cain consented to a search of the vehicle, and about 33 pounds of suspected methamphetamine was found in a duffle bag in the trunk.

The suspected methamphetamine was sent to the lab, and the lab determined that there was a total of about 14,713 grams of methamphetamine mixture in the packages. Some of the packages were tested for purity, and they were found to contain at least 4.7 kilograms of actual methamphetamine.

Acting United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Jared B. Cain was sentenced to 132 months in prison for one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine and 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine. After serving his sentence, Cain will be placed on supervised release for 5 years. There is no parole in the federal system.

The case was investigated by the Nebraska State Patrol.

Mandatory Facts: Defendant/Respondent: Jared B. Cain, Criminal Charges: Possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine and 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine, City and State: Lincoln, Nebraska, Date: December 9, 2022, Sentence: 132 months in prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release.

This case is a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine trafficking and the importance of law enforcement's efforts to combat this menace. The Nebraska State Patrol and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nebraska deserve credit for their tireless work in bringing Cain to justice.
