OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A man who managed a south Omaha bar has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for distributing drugs from the bar.

Brett Feder, 36, will serve 10 years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and THC; money laundering; and being a felon in possession of a firearm, U.S. Attorney Joe Kelly said in a news release Thursday.

J.D.’s Circle In, which Feder managed, was a front for illegal drug trafficking and sports betting operations, federal officials said.



Investigators used controlled buys of cocaine, wiretaps, walled-off traffic stops and premises searches to determine that Feder was involved with others in distributing the drugs, federal officials said. Nearly $50,000 in drug proceeds and seven firearms were ordered forfeited to the United States.
