Ask Lucas: How do I stop a family member from blasting internet videos at family holidaysA 57-year-old Lincoln man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for distributing fentanyl that led to a woman's overdose last year. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Fullerton had argued for a longer sentence for Robert Vincent Harris, who she said had not accepted any responsibility for his actions. "This is a person that to my knowledge has never acknowledged that he did anything wrong either on a legal or even a purely human basis," she said. Fullerton said Harris was lucky the woman didn't die. Harris's attorney, Bob Creager, said Harris had acknowledged what he did was wrong. At a bench trial, he argued Harris should be found guilty of straight possession because he hadn't sold the woman drugs. Harris, who was an addict himself, allowed her to use some of his.

According to court records, on Feb. 14, 2023, Harris bought 10 pills that looked like oxycodone but he believed were fentanyl, from his source and crushed them into powder to cut and snort throughout the day. Later that day, Harris cut a line and snorted some. Then, a woman, identified in court records as "Ariel L.," snorted the rest. Not long after, the drugs kicked in and Ariel fell down. Harris used Narcan, which can counteract a fentanyl overdose, from the woman's purse on her. And a bystander called 911. When the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force searched Harris' apartment with a warrant later that night, they found two straws with residue. One tested positive for fentanyl and the other for fentanyl, meth, cocaine and heroin. Senior U.S. District Judge John Gerrard ultimately rejected the defense argument and found Harris guilty of distribution of fentanyl resulting in serious injury and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin. In court Monday, Creager said heroin users who are profoundly addicted don't think or act clearly. It's the "nature of the beast." But it didn't involve distribution in the traditional sense of a seller hooking people onto the drug. He said Harris was in a bad place and has done remarkably well in treatment since. Harris said that as a person with a drug problem he's had some "clean time" before. "This is different now. I'm in recovery now," he told the judge. Harris said he's since seen the woman, who is doing well, and they apologized to each other. He said he's been inspired to continue with his recovery. Gerrard said thatwhat happened to the victim was very serious, but Harris took some steps, starting the night of the overdose, to rectify it. "But the law is what it is," he said. "You were convicted of a crime." Gerrard sentenced Harris to 20 years, the mandatory minimum set by Congress, and let Harris report to the prison in February. There is no parole in federal prison. Narcan, a drug that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, can be purchased and deployed by anyone and is available for free at more than a dozen area pharmacies, a list of which is published at stopodne.com .

Disney influencer Dominique Brown dies after medical emergency at eventBut the City boss has vowed to stay on and lift the club back to the top even if they are sent all the way down to the National League. Guardiola ended speculation over his immediate future this week by extending his contract, which had been due to expire at the end of the season, through to the summer of 2027. That has given the club some stability at a time of great uncertainty as they fight 115 charges related to alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations. City have denied all wrongdoing but their punishment if found guilty could be severe, with demotion even a possibility. Guardiola has strongly defended the club in the past and is happy to continue doing so. The Spaniard said: “I don’t enjoy it, I prefer not to be in that position, but once it’s there I love it because, when you believe in your club, and the people there – I believe what they say to me and the reasons why. “I cannot say yet because we’re awaiting the sentence in February or March – I don’t know when – but at the same time, I like it. “I read something about the situation and how you need to be relegated immediately. Seventy-five per cent of the clubs want it, because I know what they do behind the scenes and this sort of stuff. “I said when all the clubs accused us of doing something wrong, (and people asked) what happens if we are relegated, (I said) I will be here. “Next year, I don’t know the position of the Conference they are going to (put) us, (but) we are going to come up and come up and come back to the Premier League. I knew it then and I feel it now.” The immediate priority for Guardiola, who said his contract negotiations were completed in “just two hours”, is to arrest a run of four successive defeats in all competitions. Yet, ahead of their return to action against Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, the champions continue to grapple with a lengthy injury list. Mateo Kovacic is their latest casualty after sustaining a knock on international duty that could keep him out for up to a month. On the positive side, defenders Nathan Ake, John Stones and Manuel Akanji could feature and Jack Grealish is also closing in on a return after a month out. Much to Guardiola’s frustration, Grealish was called up by England for their recent Nations League games, although he later withdrew. Guardiola said: “I want the best for Jack and I want the best for Jack with the national team but the doctor said to me that he was not ready to play. “I know (England) want him but they have 200 players to select from and Jack was not fit. He had to recover from many things.” Kyle Walker played for England against both Greece and the Republic of Ireland despite limited game time since suffering injury in the October international break. Guardiola said: “If he is fit I like him to play in the national team. It is not a problem, don’t misunderstand me. “Kyle has a dream to make 100 caps for the national team. Do I want to cancel this dream? Absolutely not. “But if you are not fit, if you cannot play here, you cannot play for the national team. It is quite obvious.”
