Co-owner of pot factory sentenced to prison

YOUNGSTOWN -- Robert L. Arroyo, 56, of 630 Marshall St. was sentenced Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court, Cleveland, to 41 months in prison for his part in a marijuana factory that operated out of a downtown warehouse.
Once out of prison, he will serve three years' supervised release. He will report to U.S. marshals Aug. 30 to begin his sentence.
