MINDEN, Nev. - The sentencing of admitted drug dealer David Knapp, who faces up to 20 years in prison as a habitual criminal, is scheduled for this morning in Douglas County District Court. Last week, defense attorney Matt Ence said prosecutors were seeking a delay in Knapp's sentencing to ensure his cooperation in testifying against Ranchos pot farmer James Gilbert. Judge Michael Gibbons agreed to the continuance so he could review Knapp's prior convictions.

There's a possibility we'll see some moisture toward the end of the week. According to the National Weather Service, there's a slight chance of rain on Thursday and a chance of rain and snow on Friday and Saturday.
