A judge has sentenced two more defendants convicted in a $3 million scheme to ship thousands of pounds of marijuana to Ohio in suitcases onboard private jets.

Young Ko and Meili Cady, both of Los Angeles, previously pleaded guilty to marijuana distribution charges.

Federal Judge Algenon Marbley on Friday sentenced Ko to three years prison and Cady to one month prison and one year house arrest.

The 37-year-old Ko, who served as a bodyguard on flights, has said he didn’t realize what he’d gotten himself into.

The 25-year-old Cady is an aspiring actor.
