AUBURN, N.H. (AP) – A New Hampshire man who inadvertently revealed his identity in anonymous online videos about his marijuana-growing operation has been sentenced to jail.
Police say Kyle Berry’s how-to-grow-marijuana videos on YouTube were posted anonymously last fall, but his face was reflected off a shiny surface and a package showed his name.
Berry, of Auburn, pleaded guilty to manufacturing a controlled drug.
WMUR-TV reports (

Berry was sentenced Tuesday to a year in jail, with four months suspended.
