LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A California truck driver has been sentenced to five years and 10 months in federal prison for distributing meth in Lincoln.

26-year-old Jose Garcia of Palmdale, California, was sentenced Wednesday for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of meth.

Authorities say he brought 6 pounds of methamphetamine to Nebraska that was found hidden in an air compressor in April.

Garcia agreed to forfeit the semitrailer as part of the plea deal.
