Lincoln Man Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine
Lincoln, NE – A Lincoln man has been sentenced to prison for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. Ian Michael Ivey, 24, was sentenced to 151 months in prison followed by a 5-year term of supervised release in federal court in Lincoln.
According to prosecutors, Ivey conspired with at least nine others to distribute methamphetamine in the Lincoln area from February 1, 2018 to April 23, 2020. During that time, Ivey purchased up to pound quantities of methamphetamine to be distributed to others, and he sold methamphetamine to others in quantities ranging from a quarter ounce to two ounces of methamphetamine.
On April 23, 2020, an undercover law enforcement officer purchased about 5 grams of methamphetamine from Ivey. In total, Ivey participated in the purchase and distribution of at least 3 kilograms of methamphetamine during the conspiracy.
The case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force. Acting United States Attorney Jan Sharp announced the sentencing.
This is a stark reminder of the ongoing crisis of methamphetamine distribution in our community. The Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force and law enforcement agencies across the country are working tirelessly to combat this issue.
Ivey’s sentencing is a significant victory for the people of Lincoln and the surrounding areas. The Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force will continue to work to disrupt and dismantle methamphetamine trafficking organizations.
The 151-month sentence handed down to Ivey is a testament to the dedication and hard work of law enforcement agencies in the fight against methamphetamine distribution.
