PROVIDENCE, R.I.—A Rhode Island man has been sentenced to five years in prison for growing more than 100 marijuana plants in his apartment.

Mark McNaught was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Providence.

Prosecutors say he cultivated the plants in his Providence apartment and had marijuana with the intent to sell it.

McNaught testified in his own defense during the trial.
