Acting United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Katrina L. Coffman, 36, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Lincoln. United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Coffman to 180 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute 500 grams of methamphetamine mixture, with a prior serious felony drug conviction. Due to a prior conviction for conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, Coffman faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years. After serving her sentence, Coffman will be placed on supervised release for 10 years. There is no parole in the federal system.
Information provided to law enforcement indicated that Coffman was involved in the distribution of at least three kilograms of methamphetamine mixture in the Lincoln area between January 2017 and February 2021. Law enforcement further determined that at least two ounces of methamphetamine seized from a vehicle during a traffic stop in February 2021 was intended to be provided to Coffman.
This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force.
