The youngest child of reggae legend Bob Marley will spend seven years on probation for growing marijuana in her Chester County home in Pennsylvania in the United States.
A judge offered 29-year-old Makeda Jahnesta Marley a choice on Tuesday: a shorter prison term or a long stint on probation.
She opted for the latter and risks being jailed if she violates her probation terms.
Miss Marley was arrested in 2008 after police said they found her removing plants from her basement in Caln Township when officers arrived on a domestic-dispute call.
She pleaded guilty in September.
Marley's probation calls for her to undergo random drug tests and stay away from drug users.
