Robert Wilson, Marijuana Trafficking, Nebraska 2019

A Nebraska man has been sentenced to five years and two months in prison for dealing drugs with a gun, according to the United States Attorney Joe Kelly.

Robert Wilson, 35, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced to 62 months’ imprisonment for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and use of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. His term of incarceration will be followed by five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

The arrest took place on March 23, 2019, when Omaha Police Gang Unit officers initiated a traffic stop on Wilson. During the stop, officers found 1.3g of cocaine and 416g of marijuana packaged in 14 bags containing roughly 1oz each, an electronic scale, numerous plastic Ziploc bags, and $697 in United States Currency.

The officers also located a Taurus Millennium PT 111 G2 handgun under the driver’s seat. The discovery of the firearm, combined with the large quantity of marijuana and cocaine, led to Wilson’s arrest and subsequent charges.

This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Gang Unit as part of the Project Safe Neighborhood, a commitment to prevent gun and gang crime in America. The program aims to work with law enforcement agencies to reduce violent crime and improve public safety.

The sentencing of Robert Wilson serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in drug trafficking and gun-related crimes. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
