A conservative South Florida talk show host quietly pleaded guilty to two felonies in connection with his running a marijuana growing operation at his home in Miami Shores.

The plea deal, entered earlier this month, mandates WZAB-880 The Biz morning host Edward Woodson to serve three years’ probation, including one on house arrest. He was also sentenced to $25,000 in fines, according to court records.

Unbeknownst to his business and GOP politics listeners at 7 a.m. weekdays, Woodson was arrested in December 2010 during a raid on his house by Miami-Dade cops and DEA agents.

He was accused of running a major wicked weed distribution and growing operation out of his Northeast 92nd Street home.
