ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Las Cruces man has been sentenced to more than nearly six years in federal prison for unlawfully possessing a grenade.
Federal prosecutors say 37-year-old Keyton Wayne Lieber was given a 70-month sentence Thursday and will be on supervised release for two years after completing the prison term.
Lieber was arrested in January on a criminal complaint charging him with possessing a destructive device in Dona Ana County on April 21. Federal authorities safely disposed of it.
