Vanvalkenburg, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on Oct. 16, 2015, to 137 months in prison by Senior United States District Judge Joseph Bataillon.

At the time of his arrest, Vanvalkenburg was found in possession of a baggie containing more than 8 grams of methamphetamine and a handgun.
Vanvalkenburg’s sentence was increased by 5 years because he possessed a firearm in connection with the methamphetamine. After serving his sentence Vanvalkenburg will be required to serve a Term of Supervised Release of 4 years.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Omaha Police Department.
