LINCOLN, Neb. -- A firearm-related charge puts a Lincoln man in prison for 2 1/2 years.

U.S. Attorney Steven Russell said 22-year-old Dekevious Riley, of Lincoln, was sentenced on Feb. 3. He was charged for being a marijuana user in possession of a firearm. Riley will serve 30 months in prison along with three years of supervised release after. There is no parole in the federal system.

According to court documents, investigators talked to Riley who was a passenger in a car in a parking lot in Lincoln on March 24, 2022. A search was done due to the smell of marijuana coming from inside the car. Investigators found a partially smoked marijuana blunt, a rolling tray, and a bag of marijuana weighing 2.6 grams.

Officials said Riley had an outstanding warrant for marijuana possession at the time and was arrested. They searched a Lincoln apartment that Riley had been staying at and found a 24-round-capacity handgun extended magazine, a 16-round-capacity handgun magazine, and a speed loader for a Glock handgun.

Authorities said they found a Glock 9mm pistol in the bedroom closet. Investigators looked through Riley’s social media account and found several images and videos showing Riley’s narcotic usage and firearm possession between April 16, 2021, and March 4, 2022. Riley told investigators that he regularly used marijuana and that the Glock pistol was his.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln Police Department and the FBI.
