LEBANON, OH (FOX19) -
A Hamilton man will spend the next eight years in
prison for cultivating and trafficking marijuana.
Justin
Baker, 32, was found guilty after a 2-day bench trial held in the
Warren County Court of Common Pleas. Baker was sentenced to eight years in prison, all of
which is mandatory time.
In
July 2012, a Warren County grand jury returned an 11-count indictment against
Baker, including three counts of trafficking in marijuana, two counts of
cultivation of marijuana, two counts of possession of marijuana and two counts
of possessing criminal tools used to harvest and cultivate marijuana. The grand jury also indicted Baker for
engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.
Baker
was one of eight individuals who were members of a large drug trafficking
organization. The organization produced
high-grade marijuana worth over $2.9 million.
The investigation into Baker's participation in the drug ring originated
with a Mason High School teenager, who admitted to his involvement and was sentenced
to six months to three years in a juvenile detention facility in October. Officers seized 600 marijuana plants, over $100,000
in cash, and several hundred grams of harvested marijuana.
