Lincoln Man Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine
A 25-year-old man from Lincoln, Nebraska, has been sentenced to 21 years and 10 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine and marijuana.
On February 4, 2015, United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Jason Robert Jackson, 25, of Lincoln, was sentenced to 262 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine and a mixture or substance containing marijuana between January of 2012 and October of 2013.
A search of Jackson’s Lincoln residence in October of 2013 resulted in the seizure of five pounds of marijuana. Information provided to law enforcement indicated that Jackson was responsible for the distribution of at least 500 grams (approximately 18 ounces) of methamphetamine and at least 2.5 kilograms (5 ½ pounds) of marijuana during the term of the conspiracy.
Following the prison term, Jackson will serve five years on supervised release. The case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force.
According to authorities, Jackson was found in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine during the search of his residence. This discovery, combined with the large quantities of marijuana seized, led to the charges against him.
The severity of the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crime and the potential harm it could have caused to the community. The prosecution’s decision to seek a lengthy prison term demonstrates their commitment to holding individuals accountable for their actions.
As a result of this case, Jackson will be required to serve a significant portion of his sentence in prison, followed by a period of supervised release. This outcome serves as a deterrent to others who may be considering similar crimes.
