Two Conway men pleaded guilty in federal court to drug conspiracy

Two Conway men pleaded guilty in federal court to drug conspiracy charges as part of a federal program to combat drug crime in the river city, officials said.

Marcus Dalton Hemingway, 36, and James Earl Spain II, whose age was not available, each pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon to possessing cocaine and crack cocaine, which carries maximum prison sentences of 20 years and a $1 million fine, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The men will be sentenced at a later date.

The men along with three other men were each indicted earlier this year by a federal grand jury in connection to the drug conspiracy.
