Lincoln Police: Pot Still Plentiful Despite Busts
ketv.com

Police say the recent raids on marijuana operations have cut the amount of good-quality pot available in Lincoln but have not appreciably reduced the total available.

According to spokeswoman Katie Flood, anti-drug officers said lower-quality Mexican marijuana is still plentiful.

Flood said two raids Wednesday evening brought the total number of house raids to 10 since March 5.

In that time, about 6,500 plants have been confiscated and about as many dead plants that were in the process of drying.

The plants' street value was estimated between $15 and $20 million. Police said about $100,000 in equipment was also confiscated.

Package of Texas pot didn't fool drug dog

LINCOLN, Neb. — A Lincoln teenager has been sentenced to three years of probation for accepting a package containing more than 16 pounds of marijuana mailed to him from Texas.

Angel Guadalupe DeLeon was sentenced Tuesday in Lancaster County District Court. The 18-year-old had pleaded no contest to possessing more than a pound of marijuana.

District Judge Karen Flowers also ordered DeLeon to serve 70 days in jail over the next 10 months, which can be waived with good behavior.

A Nebraska State Patrol dog smelled the drugs during an inspection of a package at an Omaha post office. The package had been sent from McAllen, Texas.

DeLeon was arrested after a postal worker delivered the package to a Lincoln address in April and told police who accepted it.
