TYLER — A Gregg County man has pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Stephen Lehmann, 37, of Longview, appeared yesterday in Tyler Federal Court before United States Magistrate Judith K. Guthrie.
Lehmann was indicted by a grand jury on March 8, along with one co-defendant. According to the evidence presented in court, from a date prior to November 1, 2011, and continuing through that date, Lehmann agreed with other persons to acquire and distribute marijuana in the East Texas and elsewhere. Authorities say Lehmann and his co-defendant possessed more than 5 kilograms of marijuana. Lehmann faces no more than 5 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and at least 2 years of supervised release.
