LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The last defendant in a western Nebraska drug ring has been sentenced in federal court.  U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg announced Monday that Braulio Lara received a 108-month prison sentence last week.  Lara was the last of 12 defendants sentenced on drug conspiracy charges, as part of a federal investigation in the Nebraska panhandle.  Gilg said the defendants included U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants working together to bring methamphetamine and cocaine into western Nebraska.  Investigators infiltrated the organization by working their way up from the lowest-level dealers in the ring to the organization’s leader.  The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, with help from the Western Nebraska Intelligence and Narcotics Group Task Force and several local law enforcement agencies.
