St. Louis Man Pleads Guilty to Drug Charges

Former NFL players Chad Johnson and James Harrison will face off in an MMA exhibition bout in New Orleans before the Super Bowl, with Johnson excitedly proclaiming he'll win in the first round, despite Harrison suggesting a five-round match. Johnson, a six-time Pro Bowler, previously fought in a 2021 exhibition and has a history of athletic success. Separately, St. Louis resident Perry A. McCoy pleaded guilty to multiple charges including being a felon in possession of firearms and intent to distribute drugs after a police chase on October 24, 2023. Officers discovered three Glock pistols, cocaine base, methamphetamine, and THC during the pursuit, which began after McCoy was seen conducting a drug transaction. McCoy's sentencing is set for January 15, 2025, with potential prison terms of up to 15 years for the gun charge and 20 years for drug possession.
