United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced that Logan Anderson, 24, of Paxton, Nebraska, was sentenced today to 30 months in prison by United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. There is no parole in the federal system. Upon her release from prison, Anderson will serve three years of supervised release.

On or about April 9, 2019, Nebraska State Patrol investigators and the CODE (Central Nebraska Cooperative Operation for Drug Enforcement) Task Force contacted co-defendant Nathan Goulding and Anderson at their residence in Paxton. A distinct odor of marijuana was coming from the residence.  Officers applied for and received a signed search warrant for the property and vehicles on the property. Evidence taken from the search warrant included approximately 65 grams of methamphetamine, a digital scale, and numerous devices used to consume drugs. 

Goulding pleaded guilty for the same offense.  He was sentenced to 37 months in prison on July 29, 2020. He will serve four years of supervised release following his release from prison.

This case was investigated by the Nebraska State Patrol and the CODE Task Force.
