Jose Lee Cross Jr., 25, was sentenced Thursday to 15 years, eight months in prison for his conviction of conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of meth, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Joe Stecher.
The release also gave the following information:
Cross conspired with others between May 1, 2003, and July 1, 2007, to distribute about 4 pounds of meth in the Grand Island area. His sentence was increased by three years because he possessed a gun during the conspiracy.
He was taken into federal custody on July 27, 2007, and was held without a bond. He entered a plea on Nov. 8, 2007.
In an unrelated case, Dale Lynn Kokes, 49, was sentenced to 21 years, 10 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of meth.
Kokes conspired with others to distribute at least a pound of meth in the Grand Island area between July 1, 2003, and March 14, 2007.
His sentence was substantially increased because he has at least two prior convictions for crimes of violence or drug distribution.
