Omaha Crime Report: Fentanyl Sentencing, Meth Trafficking Convictions, and Missing Person Investigation
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Omaha crime report digest for the week of November 25th through December 1st, 2025.
Federal prosecutors have announced several significant criminal convictions and sentences affecting the greater Omaha and surrounding region. On November 19th, Kadonta Muldrew, 31, of Omaha, was sentenced to 235 months in federal court for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, and firearm-related crimes. This case represents ongoing federal efforts to combat drug trafficking operations in the area.
In related news from the Northern District of Iowa, two men with extensive criminal histories were convicted following an 11-day federal trial in Sioux City that concluded on November 25th. Floyd Clifford Coates, Jr., age 44 from St. Francis, Kansas, was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, possession of ammunition by a felon and drug user, and conspiracy to conceal objects with intent to impair their availability for official proceedings. Dennis Lawson, age 65 from Whiting, Iowa, was convicted of using threats of physical force against another with intent to hinder communication to law enforcement regarding federal offenses. The jury deliberated approximately two hours before reaching their verdicts.
The convictions stem from a drug trafficking organization that operated in spring 2019, distributing methamphetamine from Colorado to Iowa and surrounding areas. The investigation also connected the defendants to the disappearance of 18-year-old Sunny Sramek, who vanished more than six years ago during an Easter weekend in 2019. Evidence presented at trial included forensic analysis showing the victim's DNA and significant blood evidence in a vehicle. Coates faces a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment with five years supervised release, while Lawson faces up to 20 years imprisonment with three years supervised release. Sentencing for both defendants will be scheduled following completion of presentence reports, and both remain in federal custody.
