California Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Trafficking in Nebraska
A California man has been sentenced to 151 months in prison for shipping 7 pounds of methamphetamine to Nebraska.
Nathan Clair, 44, of Riverside, California, was sentenced on March 7, 2025, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for shipping the large quantity of methamphetamine by United Parcel Service (U.P.S.).
According to court documents, on February 15, 2022, the DEA Criminal Interdiction Unit (CIU) intercepted a package at the U.P.S. store in Omaha. Working with U.P.S. security, it was later determined that the package contained approximately 7 pounds of methamphetamine.
Undercover CIU agents took the package to the recipient’s address where Michael Bender arrived to pick up the package. Bender was arrested and later determined to have played a role in the methamphetamine trafficking operation.
Bender was sentenced on March 13, 2023, to a term of imprisonment of 180 months. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Nebraska State Patrol.
Clair’s sentence includes no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.
