The leader of a prolific marijuana-smuggling operation in central Ohio has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. A federal judge sentenced 50-year-old Levi Winston yesterday on conspiracy and money laundering charges. Federal prosecutors say Winston oversaw the shipments of four-million-dollars worth of Marijuana from Mexico to central Ohio. He was arrested in 2011 when agents raided the storage unit he rented to house the drugs.
