Perry County Men Plead Guilty
KENTUCKY....
Two Perry County men, 57 year old Pearl Combs Jr. and 72 year old Lewis Baker, pleaded guilty Wednesday during a federal jury trial on vote-buying charges. Prosecutors say Combs pleaded guilty to conspiracy to buy votes and three counts of vote buying, while Baker pleaded guilty to conspiracy.
Forty-seven year old Charles Marvin Herald pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and two counts of vote buying. Charges against 36 year old Michael Ray Combs were dismissed. They were indicted last summer on charges stemming from the May primary election. The men could receive up to five years in prison when sentenced in April.
