MARSHALL — A Cass County man has appeared in federal court in Marshall and pleaded guilty to drug violations. In an appearance Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Everingham, IV, Chadwick Ray Howe, 23, of Avinger, pleaded guilty to being involved in a conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
Federal prosecutors say from June 2009 to April 2010, Howe conspired with others to manufacture methamphetamine by purchasing cold pills containing pseudoephedrine in Panola and Harrison counties. A federal grand jury returned a 20-count indictment on May 6, 2010 charging Howe with federal drug violations. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison at sentencing. A sentencing date has not been set.
