Lincoln Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Distribution of Fentanyl Resulting in Death

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Aidan J. Glenn, 25, of Lincoln, Nebraska was sentenced on January 10, 2025, in federal court in Lincoln for one count of distribution fentanyl resulting in death. United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis sentenced Glenn to a total of 240 months' imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Glenn's release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.

On August 10, 2023, Aidan Glenn sold Chase Hartung ten fentanyl pills. After Hartung received the pills, he gave five of them to T.R.H. That individual used at least one of the pills which resulted in T.R.H.'s overdose and death.

T.R.H.'s phone records showed that Hartung was T.R.H.'s only source of fentanyl. Hartung admitted he provided T.R.H. with the pill on August 11, 2023. Through conversations with Hartung and a review of Hartung's phone law enforcement learned that Hartung and T.R.H. occasionally pooled money together to purchase M30 pills from Aidan Glenn and Wren Chamberlain.

On August 12, 2023, Hartung helped law enforcement arrange a controlled purchase of M30s from Glenn. Glenn informed Hartung that he was going to meet Michael Smith at a location in Lincoln to get more pills. Law enforcement then arrested Glenn, Chamberlain, and Smith at that location.

During recorded jail calls Glenn admitted to selling Hartung the pills that resulted in T.R.H.'s death.

Wren Chamberlain was previously sentenced on December 5, 2024, by United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis, to 51 months imprisonment and a 3-year term of supervised release for one count of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Chase Hartung is currently set for a court hearing on January 28, 2025, before United States Magistrate Judge Jacqueline M. DeLuca.

Michael Smith is currently set for sentencing on March 6, 2025, before United States District Judge Susan M. Bazis.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln Police Department.
