MONROE -- A Monroe County man will spend the next 10 years in prison for growing pot in greenhouse with his son.

The government says Gerald Duval, Jr. and his son Jeremy shamelessly exploited Michigan's medical marijuana law to try to get around the federal ban on pot.

The elder Duval's sentence was six years less than what prosecutors had recommended.

The Duvals admit to growing marijuana but say it was for medicinal use under Michigan law.

Jeremy Duval's sentence has not been announced.
