A 45-year-old Omaha man has been sentenced to 96 months in prison for possessing methamphetamine.
Shane Morris, 45, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on April 25, 2022, by United States Chief Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. for possessing with intent to distribute 5 grams or more of pure methamphetamine.
Morris received a sentence of 96 months’ imprisonment with a four-year term of supervised release to follow. There is no parole in the federal system.
The case against Morris began on April 17, 2020, during a traffic stop by the Omaha Police Department. Officers found 10 grams of pure methamphetamine in Morris’s possession.
This was not the first time Morris had been stopped by the police with methamphetamine. On October 21, 2020, Morris was found to be in possession of 6 grams of methamphetamine. Just a few months later, on January 10, 2021, Morris was again stopped by the Omaha Police Department and was in possession of 19 grams of methamphetamine.
In addition to possessing methamphetamine, Morris was also caught selling the drug to an Omaha Police Department informant on two separate occasions. On January 5, 2021, Morris sold 3 grams of methamphetamine to the informant, and on January 6, 2021, he sold 5 grams of methamphetamine.
The case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department. United States Attorney Jan Sharp announced Morris’s sentencing, which brings an end to the case.
Morris’s sentence is a significant one, with 96 months in prison and four years of supervised release. The sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of possessing and distributing methamphetamine.
