NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – A 57-year-old North Platte man who admitted growing six dozen marijuana plants has been given probation.
Marco Vieyra was sentenced to two years of probation by  Lincoln County District Judge Richard Birch.
Authorities say Vieyra’s neighbor called the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department in September he found the plants growing in a windbreak near his home.
Deputies discovered a sprinkler system and buried hose that led to Vieyra’s home.
