A Wisner man, Kaden Henry, 23, has been sentenced to 168 months in prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking and money laundering conspiracy.
On February 23, 2022, United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher handed down the sentence in Omaha, Nebraska.
Henry was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of pure methamphetamine and money laundering.
According to court documents, the investigation began in mid-2018 when a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force started looking into the methamphetamine distribution operation of David Short in the Omaha-metro area.
As part of the investigation, Henry was identified as a source of methamphetamine that was being delivered to the Omaha-metro area.
On October 29, 2020, Henry delivered 387 grams of pure methamphetamine to an undercover DEA agent. On November 12, 2020, Henry was arrested and found in possession of two pounds of methamphetamine. A search of Henry’s residence revealed another pound of methamphetamine.
Additional evidence showed that Henry was sending the money obtained from the sale of methamphetamine to Sinaloa, Mexico.
This effort was part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation, which aims to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States.
The case was investigated by the DEA, Nebraska State Patrol, and the Omaha Police Department.
Henry will also serve a five-year term of supervised release following his prison sentence and pay a fine of $8,000.
