A 47 year old Howard Court man has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for drug trafficking.
Wayne Francis McMullin was arrested back in September after police seized over 400 marijuana plants from what has been described as a large and sophisticated grow-op near Garnett Settlement.
McMullin, who has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 1980, pleaded guilty to possession for the purpose of trafficking, cultivating marijuana and possession of a loaded handgun.
The prosecution told the court each pot plant was worth a thousand dollars but McMullin disputed that, claiming 300 dollars for each would be closer to the mark.
