LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to five years and 10 months in federal prison after authorities found methamphetamine buried in his backyard.

32-year-old Inocencio Jimenez was sentenced last week. He will serve three years of supervised release upon completion of the sentence. He previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute.

A narcotics taskforce arrested Jimenez in September 2013 after finding more than six ounces of meth in his yard. Authorities say Jimenez had a roll of black electrical tape that matched tape used to seal a plastic container that held the drugs.
