According to Prosecuting Attorney Charlene Iboshi, Christopher Robinson, 39, pleaded guilty to second-degree commercial promotion of marijuana and owning explosives and firearms when he was prohibited to do so. Judge Glenn S. Hara imposed the sentence.
Police in November searched Robinson’s home, finding an improvised explosive device with red phosphorous and rusty nails, a 12-gauge shotgun, 131 marijuana plants, 470 grams of dried marijuana, 107 marijuana clones, marijuana growing paraphernalia and two glass pipes with methamphetamine residue.
