SYRACUSE (AP) -- The U.S. attorney in Syracuse says a man will spend two years on probation for his part in a marijuana ring that operated between two Indian reservations in New York.
Phillip Lauzon of Fort Covington had pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges connected to the pot ring that authorities say distributed marijuana in October 2008.
U.S. Attorney Richard S. Hartunian says the 50-year-old Lauzon was a courier delivering marijuana between the Akwesasne Mohawk Indian reservation near the Canadian border and the Onondaga Indian reservation near Syracuse.
Lauzon was arrested in October 2008 after he left a residence in the Syracuse area. Police found more than $100,000 in cash in his truck.
He was sentenced Tuesday.
