Man given chance to avoid prison goes to prison

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 41-year-old Lincoln man has been given four to eight years in prison for selling crack cocaine.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Jaquant Ford twice sold crack to an undercover officer in 2011.

Ford pleaded guilty in January and was given a chance to avoid prison if he completed the Drug Court program. But Ford didn’t complete it, so he was sentenced to prison.
