OMAHA, Neb. -- A 26-year-old man from Mexico was sentenced to 9 years in prison for meth-related charges. 

Officials said that Ivan Avalos Espinoza will serve 9 years and after his release, he will then serve a three-year term of supervised release for participation in a meth conspiracy.

According to authorities, on August 20, 2021, DEA agents in Omaha took a package at a shipping store addressed to an Omaha residence. The package had approximately 4,097 grams of methamphetamine. Later that day, a DEA agent drove to the residence and placed the package at the gate. Avalos Espinoza later took the package and went back to the house.

Officials said agents executed a search warrant of the residence and located Avalos Espinoza and the package containing the meth. Digital records from Avalos Espinoza’s cell phone provided evidence relating to the drug conspiracy.
