JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – Governor Mike Beebe intends to grant seven pardons to people around the state. Two of those people were convicted of charges in Northeast Arkansas.

The release states Powell was convicted of possessing meth, Diazepam and drug paraphernalia in Craighead County in 1991. In a separate case, Kading was convicted in White County in 1994 for criminal use of a prohibited weapon.
