A Lincoln man caught with 25 bags of methamphetamine in his boxers was sentenced to prison Thursday.

Lancaster County District Judge Robert Otte gave Anthony B. Richardson, 38, three to five years.

Police say on March 30 they stopped Richardson near 29th and Y streets at 2:30 a.m. because something hanging from his rear-view window was obstructing his view.

When they searched Richardson’s car, police found 6½ grams of marijuana and took him to jail.

Police said when he was being booked into jail they found 25 individually wrapped packages of meth pinned inside his boxer shorts.

In September, Richardson pleaded guilty to delivery/intent to deliver a controlled substance.

Fed Court of Appeals recently nixed a MI law similar to the law in NE that allowed the officer to stop the vehicle.

Glad the drugs are off the streets but the reason for the traffic stop was suspect at best. "

" Why did they take him to jail for only 6-1/2 grams of marijuana? DUI? Otherwise, it should have been a simple ticket. Something tells me LPD had other suspicions. "

" I'm sure we are not getting the whole story on why he was stopped. Trained law officials look for a lot more than the general public even realizes. "

" They can stop you for having that little tree hanging from your mirror and they can arrest you for having marijuana. Less than one ounce of Marijuana is a class III misdemeanor and is jailable. This is obviously the results of good police work, rather than cops getting over on a poor innocent citizen. Keep up the good work LPD! "
