Ominous signs of a thriving methamphetamine trade in Omaha, Nebraska, were exposed when Shane Morris, 45, was sentenced to 96 months in prison for possessing with intent to distribute 5 grams or more of pure methamphetamine.
According to a recent investigation, Morris was found in possession of 10 grams of pure methamphetamine during a traffic stop by the Omaha Police on April 17, 2020. This was not the first time Morris had been caught with the illicit substance, as he was also stopped by the Omaha Police on October 21, 2020, and found to be in possession of 6 grams of methamphetamine.
The final nail in Morris’s coffin came when he was stopped by the Omaha Police on January 10, 2021, and found to be in possession of 19 grams of methamphetamine. Furthermore, Morris sold methamphetamine to an Omaha Police informant on both January 5, 2021 (3 grams) and January 6, 2021 (5 grams).
The case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department, which has been at the forefront of the battle against methamphetamine trafficking in the city.
Morris, a resident of Omaha, Nebraska, will serve a 96-month sentence with a four-year term of supervised release to follow. It is worth noting that there is no parole in the federal system.
The sentencing of Shane Morris serves as a stark reminder of the severity of the consequences for those involved in the trafficking and distribution of methamphetamine. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
