LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The mother of New York Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain has pleaded not guilty in a Nebraska court to a felony drug charge.
Forty-4-year-old Jackie Standley was arrested in May on suspicion of selling methamphetamine to an undercover officer earlier this year at her south Lincoln apartment.
Standley appeared in Lancaster County District Court on Wednesday, wearing a dog-tag chain around her neck. It had a photo of her son on one side in his Yankees uniform, fist-pumping during a game, and "In Joba We Trust" on the other.
She declined to comment following her arraignment.
If convicted, she faces up to 50 years in prison.
