LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A Lincoln man will spend over 17 years behind bars after he was caught with meth in his coat pockets, the U.S. Attorney’s Office says.

A digital scale, numerous bags and other drug-related items were found in the car, the attorney’s office says.
During a search of Norman, authorities found 1½ pounds of meth and $816 in his coat pockets, according to the attorney’s office.
