A 43-year-old Hastings man has been given eight to 10 years in prison in a marijuana case involving a 12-year-old girl.
The Hastings Tribune reports that Ondraye Williams had pleaded no contest to possession of marijuana for sale. Prosecutors dropped another charge and enhancement for being a habitual criminal in exchange for Williams’ plea. He was sentenced earlier this week in Adams County District Court.
Court records say Williams had been texting a 12-year-old girl and was trying to arrange a meeting in March 2011, promising to bring along some marijuana.
Police learned of the plan and confiscated her cellphone. An officer then used the phone in arranging a meeting with Williams at Brickyard Park in Hastings. Officers were waiting for him there.
