YOUNGSTOWN — A shooting victim turned suspect after police found drugs in his car and home will spend the next five years on probation for having the illegal substances.

Alynn S. Grant, 32, of Liberty Road, appeared this week before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for sentencing on a charge of trafficking in marijuana.

Grant had been indicted in September on charges of trafficking in marijuana and trafficking in cocaine with forfeiture specifications for a Cadillac and $13,000. A plea agreement with prosecutors led to the trafficking in cocaine charge being dropped.

The five-year probation was imposed after the judge encouraged Grant to explain why he should not be sent to prison.
