LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man who pleaded no contest to stealing a Nebraska volleyball coach’s championship rings has been sentenced to 18 months to 3 years in prison.

29-year-old Dallas Jordan was sentenced Tuesday. He pleaded no contest in August to theft of University of Nebraska-Lincoln volleyball coach John Cook’s rings.

Police say Jordan in March took at least four Big 12 Championship rings and a national championship ring from an unlocked display case at the Devaney Sports Center. They say he sold two of the rings for $860 to an undercover officer in late March. Those are the only rings that have been recovered.

Jordan will receive credit for 165 days served at the Lancaster County Jail.
