Acting United States Attorney Matthew Molsen has confirmed that Nathan Clair, a 44-year-old resident of Riverside, California, received a sentence in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska. On March 7, 2025, Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter Jr. sentenced Clair to 151 months in prison for trafficking methamphetamine via U.P.S. Following his imprisonment, Clair will serve a five-year term of supervised release.
The case dates back to February 15, 2022, when the DEA Criminal Interdiction Unit (CIU) intercepted a package at an Omaha U.P.S. store. In collaboration with U.P.S. security personnel, it was discovered that the package contained around seven pounds of methamphetamine. Undercover CIU agents delivered the package to its intended address where Michael Bender attempted to collect it and was subsequently arrested. Further investigation revealed that Clair had sent the package from California.
Michael Bender faced sentencing on March 13, 2023, receiving an imprisonment term of 180 months.
The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Nebraska State Patrol conducted this investigation.
