Makeda Jahnesta Marley, 29, the youngest child of the late singer Bob Marley, admitted to having nearly a dozen large marijuana plants insider home near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She was arrested in 2008 after police say they found her removing plants used to make the illegal drug from the basement when officers arrived on a domestic dispute call.
Prosecutors in the case agreed to drop a mandatory year prison sentence in return for Makeda's guilty plea.
In one of the court hearing Makeda said she had exhausted a trust fund she received from her father’s estate when she turned 18 and was now working as a waitress.
