Arbie D. Murray headed to prison for eight months

WARREN — Arbie D. Murray, 20, who has addresses in Howland and Niles, was sentenced to eight months in prison today in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court after pleading earlier to a felony charge of marijuana trafficking.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol filed the charge in February.

Arbie, who was a top performer on the Howland High School basketball team in his senior year in 2013, has four other cases pending in common pleas court, all of them involving marijuana trafficking.

He pleaded guilty in two of the four cases earlier and is awaiting sentencing. One of the five is pending with a grand jury.

Various charges have been filed 24 times in Warren Municipal Court against Arbie since the beginning of the year.
