Man from North Platte travels from Phoenix to Nebraska with meth

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A 30-year-old North Platte man has been sentenced to 70 months in federal prison on a drug conspiracy conviction.

Prosecutors say Victor Jimenez-Lopez was sentenced earlier this week for conspiracy to possess methamphetamine for sale. He must serve five years of supervised release when he leaves prison.

Jimenez-Lopez told investigators in November that he’d been making trips to Phoenix since January 2011 so he could bring back meth to Nebraska.
