A Nebraska man has been sentenced to more than ten years in prison for his part in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

U.S. Attorney for Nebraska Deborah R. Gilg announced Creston Lee Christlieb, 30, of Beatrice, was sentenced Wednesday to 121 months in prison.

Between January of 2013 and September of 2015 officials say Christlieb was responsible for the distribution of more than 11 pounds of meth in the Lincoln and Beatrice areas.

Following the prison term, Christlieb will serve five years on supervised release.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force.

“My heart bleeds for what our great city is going through.” That’s what North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory told WBTV-TV about the two nights of violence in Charlotte after the fatal police shooting of a black man.

McCrory has declared a state of emergency and is sending in the National Guard.

One person was shot Wednesday during a second night of protests over the police shooting. The person, who was not identified, is in critical condition and on life support, according to an announcement on Twitter from the city. Earlier, the city had tweeted that the person had died. Officials say the person was shot by another civilian.

One police officer was injured, according to a city tweet. The officer was transported to a hospital with undisclosed injuries.

The riot and protests came on a day in which the city’s police chief gave more details on the shooting that took the life of Keith Lamont Scott. Police say 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott had a gun when a police officer shot him Tuesday. Neighbors say Scott was holding a book, not a gun.

The former chief of the Kickapoo Tribal Volunteer Fire Department was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of setting fires the tribe was paid to fight.

Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says a former volunteer firefighter was also indicted.

Stephen D. Ramirez, 26, Horton, Kan., former chief, and Arlene M. Negonsott, 34, Horton, Kan., are charged with four counts of wire fraud. The indictment alleges Ramirez recruited Negonsott, a volunteer firefighter, to set fires on the Kickapoo Reservation from July to November 2015 that the Kickapoo fire department was called to fight.

The Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas contracted with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to provide fire suppression services on the reservation. The contract called for the bureau to pay the tribe $600 for each fire it fought. The indictment alleges the defendants set six fires on the reservation.

If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on each count.

A Kansas man was charged in federal court Tuesday with robbing a bank in Overland Park.

Acting U.S. Attorney for Kansas Tom Beall announced the charges against Paul A Sundquist, 29, of Louisburg, Kansas. Sundquist is charged with a Sept. 19, 2016, robbery at the Stanley Bank, 7835 W.151st in Overland Park, Kan.

A criminal complaint alleges Sundquist showed a clerk a note demanding money before receiving the cash and fleeing the bank. A bystander got a partial tag number on Sundquist’s pickup truck. Sundquist was monitoring police radio traffic on his cell phone. When he heard police had his tag number he called 911 and surrendered.

If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
