Californian gets 2 years for pot possession in Nebraska

marijuana-jailLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man who had 135 pounds of marijuana in a vehicle he was driving has been given two years in a Nebraska prison.

Online court records say 44-year-old Yakuba Brown, of Moreno Valley, California, pleaded guilty to possessing more than a pound of marijuana after prosecutors lowered the charge from possession for sale. He was sentenced Tuesday in Lancaster County Court in Lincoln.

Nebraska state troopers say they found the pot during a search of the SUV on Feb. 26 at a gas station in north Lincoln.
