Georgia couple plead guilty

The government says two Georgia residents who together facilitated the storage and distributions of cocaine for customers in Upstate, South Carolina pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court and await sentencing. According to an announcement by the U-S Attorney, John Melvin Cannon pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder money and Kasondra Cannon pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the possession of cocaine. The government identified about $800 thousand in unexplained wealth that the Cannons generated over five years and will require the couple to forfeit $364 thousand in seized cash, their primary and vacation homes, vehicles, trailers, boats, ATVs, jewelry and other property.
