Two of the five final defendants up for sentencing on drug conspiracy charges in a wide-ranging and long-running drug and racketeering conspiracy prosecution that targeted members and associates of a notorious white supremacist group out of Pope County were sentenced in federal court this week.
One of the last defendants in a 2017 drug trafficking and racketeering case was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his part in a brutal assault directed by members of a white supremacist gang against two people suspected of providing information to law enforcement.
