Crystal meth

U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Nebraska issued the following announcement on Jan. 23.

United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced Danielle W. Henke, age 47, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for Conspiracy to Possess and Distribute Methamphetamine. United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Henke to 60 months’ imprisonment. Henke also relinquished any right or claim he had to the money seized during the investigation. After completing his term of imprisonment, Henke will be required to complete a four-year term of supervised release.  

In October of 2016, a cooperating witness working with law enforcement obtained quantities of methamphetamine from Henke inside of his Columbus residence. As a result, a search warrant was executed on Henke’s residence on October 13, 2016. Officers discovered more than 50 grams of actual methamphetamine, evidence of drug dealing, and more than $3,000 in U.S. currency.  

This case was investigated by the Columbus Police Department.
