Omaha, Nebraska Man Sentenced to Over 22 Years in Federal Prison for Conspiring to Distribute Methamphetamine in Sioux Falls

SIOUX FALLS - United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced today that U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier has sentenced an Omaha, Nebraska, man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance. The sentencing took place on June 29, 2026.

Anthony Robinson, 37, was sentenced to 22 years and five months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Robinson was indicted for Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance by a federal grand jury in October 2025. He pleaded guilty on April 6, 2026.

The investigation in this matter revealed that Robinson trafficked methamphetamine from Omaha to Sioux Falls. He was a source of supply for multiple other co-conspirators who re-distributed the methamphetamine in the Sioux Falls area. Throughout the conspiracy, investigators seized approximately 20 pounds of methamphetamine associated with Robinson. Investigators believe Robinson was responsible for trafficking approximately 40 pounds of methamphetamine during his involvement in the conspiracy.

This case was investigated by the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force and Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Hodges prosecuted the case.

Robinson was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
