A 41-year-old Lincoln man was sentenced to 18 months in prison Wednesday after authorities intercepted more than a half-pound of Ecstasy bound for his Lincoln house last summer.
Prosecutors charged Christopher B. Toman in June with delivering or having the intent to deliver Ecstasy and delivering or having the intent to deliver alprazolam.
The investigation began in San Francisco, where a Customs and Border Protection specialist opened a suspicious package addressed to Toman from the Netherlands on May 24 and found 9.1 ounces of MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, an affidavit said.

The Customs specialist alerted a Homeland Security investigator in Omaha, who in turn contacted Lincoln police, according to the affidavit.
Toman was charged with possession of Ecstasy in September after officers intercepted another package containing a smaller amount of the drug concealed in candy wrappers.
