LINCOLN, Neb. — A Nebraska judge has dismissed a charge against a Minnesota man who admitted his intention to buy marijuana in Colorado.

Court records said Judge Susan Strong said in a filing Monday that she had no jurisdiction because Erik Felsheim, of Waseca committed no crime in Nebraska.

In October 2014  Felsheim and another man were arrested after a traffic stop in Lancaster County. The records said Felsheim told a sheriff’s deputy that $65,000 found in their car was earmarked to buy pot that he intended to sell in Minnesota. Felsheim was charged with possession of money intended for a drug violation and aiding the delivery of a controlled substance.
