U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Nebraska
United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Nathaniel Lee Stephenson, 28, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced on September 4, 2025, in federal court in Lincoln for distribution of 50 grams or more of methamphetamine actual (pure). United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis sentenced Stephenson to 140 months' imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Stephenson's release from prison, he will begin a five-year term of supervised release.
On June 13, 2024, Stephenson sold 83 ½ grams, (approximately three ounces), of methamphetamine to an undercover Lincoln Police Department officer for $1,000 in Lincoln. Purity testing at the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Lab showed the methamphetamine was at least 93% pure.
This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force.
