United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced that Janalee M. Ramirez, 35, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced today to five years and three months, (63 months), in federal prison, by Chief United States District John M. Gerrard, for conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of actual (pure) methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of methamphetamine mixture. Following the prison term, Ramirez will serve three years on supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
Information provided to law enforcement indicated Ramirez was responsible for the distribution of at least 50 grams (approximately 1 ¾ ounces) of actual methamphetamine and at least 1.5 kilograms (approximately three pounds) of methamphetamine mixture in the Lincoln area between April 2018 and April 2019. On April 22, 2019, Ramirez agreed to let officers search her Lincoln apartment. During that search, two baggies containing methamphetamine residue were found. At that time, Ramirez admitted to officers that she had about five methamphetamine customers who were buying ¼ ounce to ½ ounce quantities at a time.
This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force.
