Robert Wilson, Marijuana Trafficking and Gun Charge, Nebraska 2019

A 35-year-old Omaha man, Robert Wilson, was sentenced to 62 months in prison for dealing marijuana with a gun. The sentencing took place on an unspecified date, but the crime occurred on March 23, 2019.

On that day, the Omaha Police Gang Unit initiated a traffic stop on Wilson's vehicle. During the stop, officers found a significant amount of marijuana and other evidence linking him to the crime. The marijuana was packaged in 14 bags, each containing roughly 1oz, along with an electronic scale, numerous plastic Ziploc bags, and $697 in United States Currency. Officers also located a Taurus Millennium PT 111 G2 handgun under the driver's seat.

The charges against Wilson include possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and using a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. As part of his sentence, Wilson will serve 62 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. It's worth noting that there is no parole in the federal system.

The case was investigated by the Omaha Police Gang Unit as part of the Project Safe Neighborhood initiative, a commitment to preventing gun and gang crime in America.

The evidence seized during the traffic stop included:

• 416g of marijuana
• 1.3g of cocaine
• An electronic scale
• 14 plastic Ziploc bags
• A Taurus Millennium PT 111 G2 handgun
• $697 in United States Currency

Robert Wilson's case serves as a reminder of the importance of law enforcement efforts to combat gun and gang-related crime.
