PORTSMOUTH DEPUTIES PLEAD IN DRUG CASE
Two Portsmouth sheriff's deputies have pleaded guilty to federal drug
charges, the U.S. attorney's office said yesterday.
Ulysses Johnson Jr. and Helena R. Snead were arrested after the FBI
investigated allegations that Portsmouth sheriff's deputies were delivering
drugs to federal inmates at the Portsmouth city jail.
Johnson, 35, of Chesapeake, waived indictment and pleaded guilty Monday to
conspiracy to distribute and possess marijuana, a felony. He is to be
sentenced Sept. 28.
Snead, 50, of Chesapeake, also waived indictment and pleaded guilty to the
same charge on Friday. She is to be sentenced Aug. 31.
Each faces maximum penalties of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
