Guilty Pleas in Huntington Marijuana Case



UNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two men charged with trying to buy 600 pounds of marijuana from an undercover agent pleaded guilty Monday afternoon.

They both pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess and distribute and possession with intent to distribute.


They could spend from 5 to 40 years in prison and both face a possible $2 million fine.

They will be sentenced June 29th.

Back in January, federal agents arrested Eugene Robinson and James Bonnet at a motel on 16h Street in Huntington.

Investigators say the men showed up at the motel with more than quarter of a million dollars in cash.

During a search of Robinson's house, agents say they found nine weapons, including a machine gun and silencers. They also found seven thousand dollars in cash and more marijuana packaged and ready to sell.
