United States Attorney Jan Sharp announced that Craig S. Marsh, 33, of Kearney, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Lincoln for possession with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine and 50 grams or more of methamphetamine mixture.

On October 29, 2020, law enforcement executed a search warrant of Marsh’s residence in Kearney.  Law enforcement found Marsh and two others in a room with suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.  Law enforcement also found a case containing two bags of suspected methamphetamine in the residence.  A lab confirmed that the substance was in fact about 381 grams of methamphetamine, of which at least 338 grams was actual methamphetamine.

This case was investigated by the Central Nebraska Drug and Safe Streets Task Force.
