United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Rodrigo Delacruz, 27, of Fremont, Nebraska, was sentenced on Oct. 27, 2014, to 5 years in prison by United States District Judge Laurie Smith Camp. Delacruz had previously pled guilty after Fremont police officers responded to a domestic assault call on May 2, 2014. The investigation led to contact with Delacruz at a Fremont gas station. Delacruz was found in possession of over 10 grams of actual methamphetamine, a scale, drug paraphernalia, and $1,797 in his coat.
During a post arrest interview, Delacruz admitted to using and selling methamphetamine in the past. Because Delacruz possessed more than 5 grams of actual methamphetamine, he faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years. After serving his sentence Delacruz will be required to serve a Term of Supervised Release of 4 years.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Fremont Police Department and III CORPS Drug Task Force.
