Ewing woman sentenced to five years on drug conspiracy

Acting United States Attorney Susan Lehr recently announced that Lindsey Ann Rokahr, 40, of Ewing, was sentenced Aug. 4, in federal court in Omaha, for her participation in a methamphetamine conspiracy. 

Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter Jr. sentenced Rokahr to 60 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After her release from prison, she will begin a four-year term of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay a $100 special assessment.

Rokahr, on April 26, entered a plea of guilty to Count I of the federal indictment. Count I charged conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of meth. There was a plea agreement.

In May 2020, the Holt County Sheriff's Office, Nebraska State Patrol and the United States Postal Inspection Service began investigating Rokahr and Dallas Rhinehart for their involvement in the distribution of methamphetamine in the Norfolk area.  As a result of the investigation, it was determined that Katherine Marie Tacheira would mail multi-ounce packages from California to different recipients in Nebraska. The USPS was able to determine that three packages of methamphetamine were sent by Tacheira to Rokahr in July, August and September of 2020. The September package from Tacheira to Rokahr was intercepted and contained three ounces of methamphetamine.  Rokahr was found responsible for receiving at least 13 ounces in the mail.

Rhinehart was sentenced in March, to 130 months’ imprisonment. Tacheira was sentenced in May, to 120 months. A fourth participant, Karina Rae Dieter of Norfolk, was sentenced in June, to 120 months.
