Andrew Jose Espinoza, a 43-year-old man from Lincoln, Nebraska, has been sentenced to 15 years and 8 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, a mixture or substance containing cocaine, and a mixture or substance containing marijuana.

According to court documents, Espinoza was contacted by narcotics officers at a Lincoln motel on October 16, 2014, and gave consent to search his room.

The case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force. United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced the sentencing on October 15, 2015.

Espinoza will serve five years on supervised release following his prison term.

The discovery of the drugs and cash in Espinoza’s motel room marked the culmination of a lengthy investigation by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force.

With a sentence of 15 years and 8 months, Espinoza faces significant time behind bars for his crimes.
