Description:
Omaha Man Sentenced for Meth Distribution
United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Joseph Goeken, age 40, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced January 22, 2025, in federal court in Omaha for distribution of methamphetamine. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Goeken to 190 months' imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Goeken's release from prison, he will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.
On March 11, 2024, a Drug Enforcement Agency undercover agent purchased approximately one pound of meth from Goeken in Omaha. The meth was submitted to a crime laboratory for testing, which determined the meth weighed 443 grams of meth and purity was at least 91 percent. Goeken made two other meth sales to the undercover – two ounces on March 5, 2024, and another pound on April 4, 2024.
On April 8, 2024, while DEA agents were preparing to execute a search warrant at Goeken's apartment in Omaha, a Nebraska State Patrol trooper attempted a traffic stop. Goeken drove away at a high rate of speed, passed traffic in the wrong lane, and abandoned the vehicle two minutes later. Officers found approximately 116 grams of meth (weight with packaging) and a digital scale inside of a bag in the vehicle. Inside Goeken's apartment, agents found approximately 59 grams of meth (weight with packaging).
