Rapid City Man Sentenced in Big Marijuana Bust



     RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A Rapid City man accused of helping
bring marijuana from Denver to South Dakota has been sentenced to
nearly four years in federal prison.
     Authorities say 26-year-old Jaret Hagar was in a vehicle that
was stopped by a Highway Patrol trooper in July 2008 and found to
have 30 pounds of marijuana. He pleaded guilty in June to a drug
conspiracy charge.
     U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says Hagar was sentenced to three
years and 10 months in prison. He will be on supervised release for
six years following the prison term.
