The second of two men arrested in the biggest marijuana bust Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement has ever made is sentenced to three years in federal prison.

49-year-old Kermit Aber Garriques of Newburgh, New York pleaded guilty in December to trafficking more than 14-hundred pounds of marijuana.

This past February, Garriques' co-defendant Leon Anthony Bell of the Bronx, New York was sentenced to five years and 10 months in federal prison.

Garriques was the driver of a tractor-trailer KVE stopped on I-65 in May of 2007.

Bell was a passenger.

Inside the trailer was more than 14-pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $2.8-million.

The pair was hauling the pot from Houston, Texas to sell in Ohio.
