Lincoln Man Sentenced for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine

United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that on April 10, 2013, Ramiro Martinez Osuna, 33, of Lincoln, was sentenced to 87 months in prison for being in possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. Following the prison term, Martinez Osuna will serve four years on supervised release. In addition to his prison sentence, Martinez Osuna was ordered to pay $4,800 in restitution to the Lincoln Police Department.

In March and April 2011 and April 2012, Martinez Osuna delivered methamphetamine to Lincoln Police investigators on six occasions. In May, 2012, a Lincoln Police Department investigator arranged for another purchase of methamphetamine. When Martinez Osuna arrived at the Super Saver parking lot at 27th & Cornhusker Highway, where the transaction was to occur, Martinez Osuna was arrested. In his possession was two ounces of methamphetamine, which was over 95 percent pure.

The matter was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force, which includes officers of the Lincoln Police Department, the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department.
