Jerah S. Stovall, Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, Nebraska 2020

A Lincoln woman has been sentenced to 19 years and seven months in federal prison for her role in a methamphetamine conspiracy.

According to court records, Jerah S. Stovall, 35, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine mixture and an unspecified amount of marijuana.

The crime took place between January 2015 and May 2020. Stovall will also serve five years on supervised release following her prison term.

Information provided to law enforcement indicated that Stovall was responsible for the distribution of at least five kilograms (11 pounds) of methamphetamine mixture and at least 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of marijuana in the Lincoln area.

On April 9, 2020, a search warrant was executed at the Lincoln residence of Stovall and Jason Mullen. During that search, officers found approximately 2/3 ounce of methamphetamine and approximately six ounces of marijuana as well as a digital scale, packaging materials, and a .380 caliber handgun with ammunition.

Stovall’s purse had over $1,000 in cash in it. On May 1, 2020, officers were looking for Mullen on an outstanding warrant, and they saw Stovall with Mullen and a third person. Stovall’s driver’s license was suspended, so her car was seized and searched, resulting in the finding of more than ¼ ounce of marijuana in her make-up bag.

Stovall had a 2013 conviction from Scotts Bluff County for Distribution of Methamphetamine.

Mullen also pled guilty to the conspiracy charge with a prior serious drug felony conviction and is scheduled for sentencing in August 2021.

The case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
