Erik P. Grant, a 32-year-old resident of Schererville, Indiana, has been sentenced to 168 months in prison. The sentence was handed down by United States District Court Judge Gretchen S. Lund following Grant's guilty plea to charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of methamphetamine. This announcement was made by United States Attorney Clifford D.
