U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb on Monday also sentenced Zachary A. Czerkas, 19, to four years of supervision after his release. In August, Curtis J. Faustich, 23, a former UW-Madison horticulture major, was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison for what was a sophisticated marijuana growing operation.
