United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Doob Tut, 32, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on January 7, 2026, in federal court in Omaha for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl analogue and being a felon in possession of a firearm. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Tut to 137 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Tut’s release from prison, he will begin a five-year term of supervised release.
Beginning in October 2023, a Federal Bureau of Investigation task force began investigating Tut for distributing fentanyl pills in Omaha. Individuals cooperating with law enforcement purchased fentanyl pills from Tut 11 times over a span of nine months. Tut would receive fentanyl pills from other dealers and then immediately sell them to the cooperators. Tut also twice sold firearms: an AR style rifle and a revolver. Tut was prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law because of a previous felony conviction for robbery in Lancaster County District Court in 2013.
During the investigation, the task force arrested three individuals who were supplying Tut with fentanyl pills. All three pleaded guilty to federal drug and firearm offenses, each receiving sentences between 235- and 300-months’ imprisonment.
This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
