Overview

  • A Phillips County man pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of a machine gun in federal court.
  • The weapons plea came less than a year after his release from prison for the same offense.
  • A Pulaski County man originally charged with multiple counts of production of child pornography pleaded to a lesser count under a deal.
  • The agreement drops 10 production charges and leaves the defendant facing a possible sentence of up to 10 years.
  • Both proceedings were handled at the Richard Sheppard Arnold Federal Courthouse in Little Rock, with sentencing to be determined.
