The New Orleans man who tried smuggling $35,000 worth of marijuana and grow lights out of San Francisco International Airport by stashing them in speakers inside his luggage was sentenced to 16 months in prison.

Frank Lee Grigsby, 36, waived a pre-sentencing report after pleading no contest to drug possession and immediately received the term with credit for 81 days. Other charges were dismissed.

Authorities arrested Grigsby Sept. 23 after transportation security screeners said they found the drugs and lights in his baggage. Grigsby had just upgraded his seat to first class and boarded the Continental Airlines flight when authorities took him into custody, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Grigsby allegedly told authorities he was transporting the seven individually wrapped bricks of marijuana back to Baton Rouge, La. personally because he was getting ripped off when having it mailed. He planned to both use it personally and sell it to friends in the rap industry.
