LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A Virginia man has been sentenced to up to three years in prison for transporting nearly 50 pounds of marijuana over Interstate 80 in Nebraska. Paul Riedel, of Midlothian, Va., was arrested July 29, 2010, after Lincoln police found 49 pounds of marijuana in the trunk of his rental car following a traffic stop. The Lincoln Journal Star reports the 50-year-old Riedel was found guilty in June of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and not paying a drug stamp tax. On Tuesday, Lancaster County District Judge Robert Otte sentenced Riedel to 18 to 36 months for the distribution conviction and a year for the tax stamp violation. The sentences are to be served at the same time, and Riedel was given credit for four days served.
