Chad W. Case, 30, of Lincoln was ordered Friday to pay a $500 fine for misdemeanor attempted possession of a controlled substance.
Case was linked to an alleged conspiracy to distribute steroids in the Lincoln area in 2004. He had been charged with a felony drug charge in the case, but agreed in a deal with prosecutors to plead to the amended charge.
“I’m just truly sorry for the poor judgment I showed in 2004,” he told Lancaster County Judge Gale Pokorny on Friday.
Levi Lewis was sentenced in Lancaster County District Court in November to one to two years in prison for his role in the conspiracy. A third man, Kenneth Thompson, is scheduled to appear in district court next week to possibly plead.
Vladimir Ribartchouk of New York was sentenced in December to up to three years in prison for shipping the drugs to Lincoln.
