Teen Who Ran Ohio Pot Ring Gets Jail Time
An Ohio teenager considered by authorities to be one of the most prolific drug dealers in the Cincinnati area was sentenced on Monday to between six months and three years in a juvenile prison after a judge told the teen he was "a pretty fine young person that went down a bad trail."
Tyler Pagenstecher of Mason was taken into custody immediately after the hearing and will be turned over to Ohio's Department of Youth Services. The agency ultimately will decide how long Pagenstecher will be in prison, depending on his behavior.
"He's not going home today," Judge Thomas Lipps said, explaining that the charges against Pagenstecher were too serious for him to avoid prison time.
