Lincoln man pleads guilty to meth possession

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln man was convicted in a methamphetamine case on Tuesday.

Jason Small, 46, pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance.

In December, investigators carried out a drug bust at a southwest Lincoln home shared by Small and his roommate, Christoper Simpson.

Court documents say they found 41 grams of meth and 4 grams of psilocybin mushrooms in the garage.

When police took Small into custody, they said he had a bag with 1.4 grams of meth on him.

An arrest affidavit alleges that Simpson was dealing drugs, while Small was just using.

Small was released on bail on Dec. 26, but court documents say he couldn’t stay out of trouble.

In February, he fled a traffic stop in Omaha, cutting across three lanes of traffic as he sped away.

He has been sentenced to a year in prison in that case and will also have his driver’s license revoked for two years.

Small is set to learn his fate for the meth charge on Sept. 10.

Simpson faces six felonies. He is due back in court on Oct. 2.
