LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman has been given prison time for delivering heroin to a man who later died of a drug overdose.

Lancaster County District Judge Stephanie Stacy sentenced 37-year-old Crystal Wilson on Wednesday to eight years and eight months in prison. The Lincoln Journal Star reports (http://bit.ly/1BbpIqn ) she could serve up to 17 years.

Prosecutors say Wilson delivered $100 worth of heroin to a motel in April. She is accused of using the drugs alongside several people, including Jeffery Arredondo and his wife, Marla. The couple overdosed, and Jeffery Arredondo was later pronounced dead.
