United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Kurt Hansen, 34, of Fremont, Nebraska, was sentenced on Oct. 2, 2014, to 5 years in prison by United States District Judge Joseph F. Bataillon. Hansen had previously pled guilty after he was caught with 12 grams of methamphetamine outside of a Fremont residence where agents were conducting a search warrant. Because Hansen possessed more than 5 grams of actual methamphetamine, he faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years. After serving his sentence Hansen will be required to serve a Term of Supervised Release of 5 years.
This case was the result of an investigation by the III CORPS Drug Task Force.
