A judge told a 24-year-old Lincoln woman caught with more than a pound of marijuana and a shotgun that she is a drug dealer and not very good at it.

"This was a Crimestoppers tip," Lancaster County District Judge Lori Maret told Sydnie States before she sentenced her to three years of probation. "Your neighbors knew what you were doing."

States pleaded no contest to intent to deliver marijuana and attempt to possess a firearm during the commission of a felony. She said nothing at Tuesday's sentencing.

On June 2, 2015, the Lincoln Police Department got a tip about cars coming and going from States' duplex at all hours of the day.

The Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force served a search warrant just after midnight, smelled raw marijuana and found a 12-gauge pump shotgun, 1.1 pounds of marijuana and $3,280.

States told investigators she was buying a half-pound at a time and selling it because, "I'd rather make money just sitting at home," according to the affidavit for her arrest.

Maret said Tuesday that States had gotten too big for her britches trying to make quick, easy money.
