Man sentenced for growing hundreds of pot plants

A 600-plant basement marijuana greenhouse will keep a former UW-Madison horticulture student in federal prison for nearly three years. Curtis J. Faustich, 23, told U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb that since his basement greenhouse was busted by police on April 13, he has been on a path to change that he pledged would continue after he is released from prison in two years and nine months.
