Drug Dealer Receives 235 Months After Picking Up a Package with 4 Pounds of Methamphetamine Inside

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Mitchell Bostic, age 41, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced on January 15, 2025, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. United States District Court Brian C. Buescher sentenced Bostic to 235 months' imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Bostic's release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

On December 5, 2023, law enforcement intercepted a package that contained nearly 4 pounds of meth in Nebraska. On December 6, 2023, law enforcement conducted a controlled delivery of the package whereby Bostic and Stephanie Cummings picked up the package at a residence in Omaha and law enforcement surveilled Bostic and Cummings as they drove away in Bostic's vehicle. Believing law enforcement was following them, Bostic instructed Cummings to throw the package containing meth out of the car window. Law enforcement located the package and subsequently conducted a traffic stop of Bostic's vehicle and both Bostic and Cummings were arrested. Cummings is awaiting sentencing in federal court.
