YORK, Neb. (AP) — A 44-year-old York man has been given 10 to 20 years in prison for possessing and trying to sell methamphetamine.

Judge Alan Gless, of York County District Court, sentenced Sammy Keezer Jr. on Monday.

Gless told Keezer that he’d seen his cases for several years and that there comes a time when judges must make “problem defendants disappear.”

Gless gave Keezer 10 to 20 years for the attempted sales and 20 months to five years for meth possession. They will be served at the same time.
