Pilot At NLR Airport Sentenced On Drug Charge

U.S. Attorney Jane Duke says 42-year-old Joseph Henderson III pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Duke says witnesses told authorities that they bought methamphetamine from Henderson from a hangar at the municipal airport in North Little Rock.

According to Duke, Henderson was arrested in September 2008 and authorities found methamphetamine and a smoking pipe.

Henderson was sentenced Tuesday to 52 months in prison.
