Lincoln man busted for distributing drugs near school, LPD says

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A 25-year-old was arrested on Tuesday after Lincoln Police say he was caught manufacturing and distributing drugs near a school.

Kendrick Buford is now facing several charges following the search of his apartment near 46th Street and Bancroft Avenue just before 5 p.m.

Police say the gang unit found almost 12 ounces of marijuana, along with a stolen handgun and an AR-style rifle.

The handgun had been missing since a Lincoln burglary back in the summer of 2021, police said.

The Lincoln Police Department told Channel 8 that Buford was prohibited from owning firearms as a felon.

His apartment is less than a block away from Calvert Elementary School.
